[The effect of local anaesthetics on uterine blood flow and O2-consumption in pregnant sheep (author's transl)]. 1977

E Lanz, and D Caton, and H Schlereth, and D H Barron

The local anesthetics bupivacaine, etidocaine, lignocaine and chloroprocaine were infused intravenously for 30 min to pregnant sheep, prepared for chronic studies. The amide compounds reached highere plasma concentrations than chloroprocaine. All local anaesthetics decreased uterine blood flow and O2 consumption without marked alterations of arterial or uterine venous blood gases. These changes were within the wide physiological range of variation, which was established in controls during 24 h. The findings may be of significance during paracervical block or pathological states of UBF or fetal homeostasis.

D008012 Lidocaine A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D000779 Anesthetics, Local Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate.

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.
