Abstrakt: We have examined the cerebrovascular response to carbon dioxide during normotension, sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced hypotension and high dose isoflurane-induced hypotension in 10 patients who received a standardized general anaesthetic. Carbon dioxide reactivity was determined by varying Paco2between 3.0 and 8.0 kPa and recording simultaneously blood flow velocity from the middle cerebral artery (vmca). The paired vmca-Paco2data were analysed using linear regression to determine carbon dioxide reactivity. During hypotension, both high-dose isoflurane and SNP reduced significantly mean absolute (from 17.4 (SEM 2.3) to 13.0 (1.7) and 8.8 (1.3) cm s−1kPa−1respectively; P< 0.05) and relative (from 32.5 (3.8) to 23.6 (2.0) and 15.5 (1.3) % kPa−respectively; P< 0.05) cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide. This reduction was greater during SNP-induced hypotension (P< 0.05). We conclude that cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide was attenuated during isoflurane and SNP-induced hypotension, and that it was better preserved during isoflurane-induced hypotension.
