Anesthetic Potency of Intravenous Infusion of 20% Emulsified Sevoflurane and Effect on the Blood-Gas Partition Coefficient in Dogs.
Anesthesia and Analgesia 2021 Februrary 2
BACKGROUND: Intravenous (IV) infusions of volatile anesthetics in lipid emulsion may increase blood lipid concentration, potentially altering the anesthetic agent's blood solubility and blood-gas partition coefficient (BGPC). We examined the influence of a low-lipid concentration 20% sevoflurane emulsion on BGPC, and the anesthetic potency of this emulsion using dogs.
METHODS: We compared BGPC and anesthetic characteristics in 6 dogs between the IV anesthesia of emulsion and the sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia in a randomized crossover substudy. Minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs) were determined by tail-clamp stimulation by using the up-and-down method. Blood sevoflurane concentration and partial pressure were measured by gas chromatography; end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was measured using a gas monitor. The primary outcome was BGPC at the end of IV anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia. Secondary outcomes were time to loss/recovery of palpebral reflex, finish intubation and awakening, MAC, blood concentration/partial pressure at MAC and awakening, correlation between blood partial pressure and gas monitor, and the safety of emulsions.
RESULTS: BGPC showed no difference between IV and inhaled anesthesia (0.859 [0.850-0.887] vs 0.813 [0.791-0.901]; P = .313). Induction and emergence from anesthesia were more rapid in IV anesthesia of emulsion than inhalation anesthesia. MAC of emulsion (1.33% [1.11-1.45]) was lower than that of inhalation (2.40% [2.33-2.48]; P = .031), although there was no significant difference in blood concentration. End-tidal sevoflurane concentration could be estimated using gas monitor during IV anesthesia of emulsion. No major complications were observed.
CONCLUSIONS: IV anesthesia with emulsion did not increase the BGCP significantly compared to inhalation anesthesia. It was suggested that the anesthetic potency of this emulsion may be equal to or more than that of inhalation.
