The effects of two levels of morphine-nitrous oxide anesthesia on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolism (CMRO2) were measured in healthy male volunteers. CBF and metabolic measurements were made in the awake control state, after morphine, 1 mg/kg, with 70 per cent nitrous oxide and 30 per cent oxygen, and at a total dose of 3 mg/kg morphine with the same concentrations of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Ventilation was controlled and carbon dioxide added to inspired gas to maintain PaCO2 constant at 40 torr. CBF was 48.2 +/- 4.4 (SEM) ml/100 g/min during the control phase; 45.7 +/- 6.4 ml/100 g/min after 1 mg/kg morphine, and 44.3 +/- 4.9 ml/100 g/min after 3 mg/kg morphine. The latter values are not significantly different from control. Cerebral metabolic rates for oxygen, glucose, and lactate were normal in the control phase and did not change significantly when morphine was present at either level. It is concluded that morphine-nitrous oxide anesthesia produces no alteration of cerebral blood flow or metabolism in normal man at the two dose levels studies.
