Effects of hypotension induced by halothane, on the cerebral circulation in baboons with experimental renovascular hypertension. 1978

W Fitch, and J V Jones, and D I Graham, and E T MacKenzie, and A M Harper

The effect of graded, progressive hypotension on the autoregulation of cerebral blood flow was studied in anaesthetized baboons with experimental renovascular hypertension. Graded hypotension was induced over a period of 5-6 h by the administration of increasing concentrations of halothane. In these chronically hypertensive animals cerebral blood flow remained constant until the mean arterial pressure had decreased to approximately 90 mm Hg. At mean arterial pressures of less than this value cerebral blood flow was pressure passive. At the completion of the investigation the brains were fixed by perfusion and submitted to neuropathological examination. Evidence of chronic hypertension and of ischaemic brain damage was found in every animal.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

D006706 Homeostasis The processes whereby the internal environment of an organism tends to remain balanced and stable. Autoregulation
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
