Inhaled anesthetics exert metabolically mediated effects on cerebral blood vessels both directly and indirectly. We investigated the effects of a 0.4 minimum alveolar subanesthetic concentration of sevoflurane on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV), regional cerebrovascular resistance (rCVR), and regional mean transit time (rMTT) in volunteers by means of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging perfusion measurement. Sevoflurane increased rCBF by 16% to 55% (control, 55. 03 +/- 0.33 to 148.83 +/- 1.9 mL. 100 g(-1). min(-1); sevoflurane, 71.75 +/- 0.36 to 193.26 +/- 2.14 mL. 100 g(-1). min(-1)) and rCBV by 7% to 39% (control, 4.66 +/- 0.03 to 10.04 +/- 0.12 mL/100 g; sevoflurane, 5.04 +/- 0.03 to 13.6 +/- 0.15 mL/100 g); however, sevoflurane decreased rMTT by 7% to 18% (control, 3.75 +/- 0.04 to 5. 39 +/- 0.04 s; sevoflurane, 3.4 +/- 0.03 to 4.44 +/- 0.03 s) and rCVR by 22% to 36% (control, 0.74 +/- 0.01 to 1.9 +/- 0.2 mm Hg/[mL. 100 g(-1). min(-1)]; sevoflurane, 0.54 +/- 0.01 to 1.41 +/- 0.01 mm Hg/[mL. 100 g(-1). min(-1)]). Interhemispheric differences in rCBF, rCBV, and rCVR were markedly reduced after the administration of sevoflurane. These findings are consistent with the known direct vasodilating effect of sevoflurane. The decrease in rMTT further shows that rCBF increases more than does rCBV. Furthermore, we can show that the observed increase in rCBF during inhalation of sevoflurane is not explained by vasodilation alone.
