Abstract
The influence of haemodilution and cooling on the solubility of halothane in blood during cardiopulmonary bypass was studied in six normothermic and six hypothermic patients undergoing open-heart operations. The solubility of halothane in blood was 2.17 at 30° C and 1.34 at 37° C. There was also an increase in the blood/gas partition coefficient of about 8.7 per cent for each degree celsius of temperature fall. These changes in haemodiluted blood explain the different anaesthetic requirements observed in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, either at normal temperature or at moderate hypothermia. Les auteurs rapportent ľinfluence de Thémodilution et du refroidissement durant la circulation extracorporelle sur la solubilité de ľhalothane dans le sang. Six sujets normothermiques et six sujets hypothermiques était étudiés à ľoccasion ďopération à cœur-ouvert. La solubilité de haiothane était 2.17 à 30° C et 1.34 à37°C. On a aussi remarqué une augmentation du coefficient de solubilité de 8.7% pour chaque degré Celsius de diminuation de temperature. Ces variations remarqués en hémodilution expliquent la variabilité des besoins anesthésiques observés lors de la circulation extracorporelle, en normothermie ou en hypothermie modéré.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
