Platelet aggregation is impaired during anaesthesia with sevoflurane but not with isoflurane

Abstract: Platelet aggregation is impaired during anaesthesia with sevoflurane but not with isofluranePurpose: Halothane suppresses platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo, and prolongs bleeding time. In a previous in vitro study we demonstrated ~ sevoflurane had a more suppressive effect on platelet aggregation than did halo~hane. The present study i~ whel~ the clinical use of sevollurane aliected plamlet al~,regation ex vivo. Methods: Thirty-eight patients undergoing minor elective surgery were divided randomly into… Show more

“…12 Similar results were also obtained by Hirakata et al as they demonstrated that in patients anesthetized with sevoflurane, but not isoflurane, secondary platelet aggregation could not be induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and epinephrine. 13 However, the same group demonstrated in vitro that although isoflurane was less potent than halothane and enflurane, it could inhibit thromboxane A 2 induced platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner. There was a 50% inhibition with a concentration of 15.7 mM (corresponding to 24 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration, roughly 20 times the usual concentration in humans) added in the platelet preparation.…”

“…We are unable to comment on the clinical value of these changes due to our limited sample size, but further study is merited as sevoflurane has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate [9,10].…”

“…Several anesthetic agents, including volatile and intravenous anesthetics, are reported to affect human platelets through different mechanisms [1,8,15]. The principal objective of this study was to describe the detailed mechanisms involved in the inhibition of agonist-induced human platelet aggregation by ketamine.…”

“…For example, triazolam and alprazolam inhibit platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced aggregation [16], and the inhibition of PAF binding to platelets has been proposed to explain this anti-aggregatory effect [5]. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of halothane and sevoflurane on human platelet aggregation have been shown in in vitro and in vivo studies [8,15]. On the other hand, studies of ketamine in platelets have relatively rarely been com-pared with other sedative-hypnotic drugs or anesthetics.…”
