Isoflurane inhibits endothelium-mediated nitric oxide relaxing pathways in the isolated perfused rabbit lung

Abstract: Purpose: The role of volatile anaesthetics on nitric oxide (NO)-dependent relaxation is unclear in the pulmonary circulation. We examined the effects of isoflurane on NO-dependent relaxation in isolated perfused rabbit lungs. Methods: Eighteen rabbit lungs were pedused in a constant-flow recirculation manner. In study I ( n = 12), acetylcholine (ACh, 4 x l0 '~ ~ M) or nitroglycerine (NTG, 6 x 10"1~ -8 M) was cumulatively injected into the pulmonary artery in the absence or presence of isoflurane (I, 2 MAC).

“…Also, endothelium-denuded aortas from Iso group presented increases in KCl and Phe-induced contractions, suggesting endotheliumderived NO protects vascular smooth muscle cells against isoflurane effects on receptor-operated calcium channels [30,31]. Moreover, we found that isoflurane and sevoflurane did not affect ACh-induced vasodilation, which is not in accordance with previous reports [27,32].…”

“…In most previous studies, halothane, 156,178 -183 enflurane, 160,178 isoflurane, 133,160,178,184 desflurane, 177 sevoflurane, 135,160,163,180,185,186 thiopental, 187 ketamine, 188 propofol, 189 -191 and etomidate 188,[192][193][194] inhibited endothelium-dependent, presumed nitric oxidemediated vasodilator responses (table 2). However, most of those anesthetics did not inhibit the endotheliumindependent vasodilator response to nitrovasodilators (table 2) and the associated increases in cGMP level in VSMCs.…”

“…Immediately after killing, sterilize the ventral body surface with 70% EtOH and use the rough scissor to cut the skin along the ventral midline from the chin to the pelvis. Note: Since it is known that inhalative anesthetics such as isoflurane have an impact on the vascular tone 18,19 , do not use volatile anesthetics. 2.…”
