Comparative effects of desflurane,sevoflurane and isoflurane on coronary circulation in dogs / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

objective: The aim of this study was to investigate effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on coronary circulation in dogs and to compare its effects with those of isoflurane. Method:Eighteen mongrel dogs were anesthetized with sodium pentothal 20mg/kg and atracurium 0.8mg/kg. After intubation, thoracotomy was performed and a 3.0 or 3.5mm pulsed Doppler flow probe was placed around the left anterior descending coronary artery. The dogs were randomly assigned to receive desflurane,sevoflurane or isoflurane with the values of MAC being 7.2%, 2.3% and 1.28%,respectively. Coronary blood flow(CBF)were recorded 20 min after the period of equilibration at the desired endtidal concentration. Result:CBF was significantly increased in desflurane and isoflurane group at giving concentrations. Unlike isoflurane,CBF in sevoflurane group decreased slightly at low concentration,but increased significantly at high concentration. Conclusion: The effects of desflurane and isoflurane on coronary circulation are similar, but those of sevoflurane and isoflurane are different.
