Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and linear cardiac output (aortic blood velocity) were measured in 15 patients who received halothane, enflurane or isoflurane in oxygen. All three agents caused a significant reduction in ERPF (P less than 0.05) and the effect was greater at 1.25 MAC than at 0.75 MAC. No significant difference was demonstrated between the agents. Linear cardiac output did not change significantly during the study, suggesting that the observed reduction in ERPF was not caused by cardiovascular depression.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007530 Isoflurane A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012079 Renal Circulation The circulation of the BLOOD through the vessels of the KIDNEY. Kidney Circulation,Renal Blood Flow,Circulation, Kidney,Circulation, Renal,Blood Flow, Renal,Flow, Renal Blood
D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D004737 Enflurane An extremely stable inhalation anesthetic that allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in pulse or respiratory rate. Alyrane,Enfran,Enlirane,Ethrane,Etran
D006221 Halothane A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.
