Preservation of the pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to alveolar hypoxia during the administration of halothane to dogs. 1978

M K Sykes, and J M Gibbs, and L Loh, and J B Marin, and J Obdrzalek, and R N Arnot

The action of halothane on the pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to unilateral alveolar hypoxia was studied in two groups of dogs. In the first group the redistribution of blood flow between the two lungs was studied with a radioactive isotope method, which provided intermittent measurements, whilst in the second group the distribution of blood flow was observed continuously. In both groups there was no significant alteration of the hypoxic vasoconstrictor response with inspired halothane concentrations varying from 0.5 to 1.5%.

D011652 Pulmonary Circulation The circulation of the BLOOD through the LUNGS. Pulmonary Blood Flow,Respiratory Circulation,Circulation, Pulmonary,Circulation, Respiratory,Blood Flow, Pulmonary,Flow, Pulmonary Blood,Pulmonary Blood Flows
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
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.

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.

D013997 Time Factors Elements of limited time intervals, contributing to particular results or situations. Time Series,Factor, Time,Time Factor
D014661 Vasoconstriction The physiological narrowing of BLOOD VESSELS by contraction of the VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE. Vasoconstrictions
