Volatile anesthetics and mucociliary clearance.

Minerva anestesiologica, 2008
The aim of this prospective, randomized, double blind study was to evaluate the possible modification of in vivo nasal mucociliary clearance by three different volatile agents: sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane, following intravenous induction and tracheal intubation.Following institutional approval and informed consent, 60 patients scheduled for ...

Cardioprotection with volatile anesthetics: clinical relevance

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004
Increasing experimental evidence is indicating that volatile anesthetic agents may exert direct cardioprotective effects. They have been shown to directly precondition or indirectly enhance ischemic preconditioning. This results in protection against reversible and irreversible ischemic myocardial damage. In addition, volatile anesthetics also decrease

Comparative Pharmacology of Volatile Anesthetics [PDF]

, 1983
Currently used volatile anesthetics (halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane) can have differing pharmacologic effects on 1) ventilation 2) circulation 3) central nervous system physiology and 4) the neuromuscular junction. Likewise, the physical and chemical characteristics of these drugs vary resulting in predictable differences in the rate of induction

Volatile Anesthetics and Heart Failure

1987
The modern inhalational anaesthetics halothane, enflurane and isoflurane are known to depress myocardial contractility. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in isolated heart muscle preparations and in intact hearts, in experimental animals as well as in man. This depression is directly proportional to the concentration of the inhalational agent used.
