Impact of halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane
at 1.5 and 2.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) on hepatic arterial oxygen delivery
in chronically instrumented dogs. Halothane produced the greatest reduction in hepatic
arterial oxygen delivery, whereas sevoflurane and isoflurane had insignificant effects
on oxygen delivery at any MAC level. *Differs from isoflurane and sevoflurane
at comparable MAC values (P < .05). †Differs
from sevoflurane at comparable MAC values (P <
.05). (Data from Frink EJ, Morgan SE, Coetzee A, et al: The effects of
sevoflurane, halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane on hepatic blood flow and oxygenation
in chronically instrumented greyhound dogs. Anesthesiology 76:85–90, 1992.)
