- W4254604966 abstract "The pharmacokinetic features of new intravenous (i.v.) anaesthetic drugs permit a rapid equilibration between plasma and receptor site concentrations which enables a rapid onset. Furthermore, they have large distribution volumes and high metabolic clearances which lead to a rapid decrease in plasma concentration and produce a rapid recovery after they are discontinued. These new i.v. agents in combination with new techniques (computerized i.v. pumps) also allow a precise control over the depth of anaesthesia so that total i.v. anaesthesia has the same advantages as inhalation anaesthesia in this regard. Inhalation anaesthesia nevertheless remains very popular due to the fact that many anaesthetists are conversant with this technique but are not familiar with the i.v. technique. In times of day-care surgery and pressures on costs it is important to improve safety of anaesthesia, to avoid long lasting effects of agents and to reduce the recovery time from anaesthesia. The ideal volatile anaesthetic should be inert, independent of metabolism and nothing should be left in the organism at the end of anaesthesia. The following criteria should be fulfilled: hypnotic, analgesic and muscle relaxing properties; quick and smooth induction and recovery from anaesthesia and precise control over delivery of anaesthesia; high safety margins and minimal side effects on organ systems; high stability in vitro and in vivo and not inflammable; odourless or pleasant smell; environmentally friendly. The older inhalational agents halothane, enflurane and isoflurane do not meet these criteria sufficiently, so there was a need for improved agents. Desflurane and sevoflurane have a low solubility in blood and tissues and thus possess favourable kinetic properties which allow a precise control over delivery of anaesthesia [1]. Sevoflurane lacks pungency and air-way irritability so that induction of anaesthesia can be easily achieved in children and adults. Cardiovascular and respiratory events are reduced compared with halothane. Intravenous agents such as propofol cause pain on injection which can be avoided by inhalational induction. Sevoflurane has replaced halothane, especially in children, in modern anaesthesia. Up to 5% of inhaled sevoflurane is metabolized in the human body [2]. Increased serum fluoride concentrations have been observed. Compared with methoxyflurane, however, renal involvement has not been proved due to less intrarenal fluoride generation [3,4]. Desflurane is more pungent than the other currently available volatile agents and is not suitable for induction of anaesthesia. It is less soluble than sevoflurane. Thus a more rapid increase in alveolar concentration is achieved and an earlier emergence from anaesthesia is observed. Only 0.02% of the agent is metabolized and this makes it favourable for prolonged maintenance of anaesthesia [1]. Rapid increase in the inspiratory concentration of desflurane may induce tachycardia and hypertension which is due to sympathic activation. Both agents are less potent than the old volatiles and increased inspiratory concentrations have to be applied. Low flow anaesthesia is an effective technique for minimizing costs and pollution, preserving heat and to humidify the inspired gas. Desflurane can be used in low-flow or closed-circle systems. Desflurane, isoflurane and enflurane all react with dry carbon dioxide absorber material forming carbon monoxide [5]. Reduction of the fresh gas flow avoids drying of the absorber lime and thus contributes to safety in addition to regular changes of the material. Sevoflurane is degraded by carbon dioxide absorbents generating a vinylhalide called compound A. Compound A is known to induce renal toxicity in rats but in humans data concerning renal toxicity are conflicting [6-11]. Inspiratory concentrations of compound A increase with increasing concentrations of sevoflurane and with a reduction in the fresh gas flow. Absorber material, temperature, CO2 production and construction of the anaesthetic circuit further contribute to compound A generation. Although there are no restrictions in the European Union concerning fresh gas flows in sevoflurane anaesthesia, one should be cautious for the use of prolonged sevoflurane administration at high inspiratory concentrations with fresh gas flows below 1 L min−1 until there are better data with respect to potential inspiratory compound A concentrations and their toxicological impact. The ideal volatile anaesthetic would be xenon [12,13]. It is inert, it does not react with other agents and it is not metabolized. Its extremely low blood:gas solubility and its analgesic properties suggests that its widespread use could replace nitrous oxide and the volatile anaesthetics in many clinical situations. Unfortunately xenon is extremely expensive due to the requirement for its isolation from limited natural resources. Application of xenon in a closed-circuit anaesthetic system might be a future form of inhalational anaesthesia and one way to avoid environmental pollution by sparing nitrous oxide, halogenated carbons and i.v. anaesthetics.
