Abstract
The effects of halothane anaesthesia on portal venous pressure and cardiac output was evaluated in normal rats and in rats with portal hypertension. This anaesthetic agent caused a significant decrease in portal venous pressure and in cardiac output compared with non-anaesthetized animals. It has been concluded that the results of splanchnic haemodynamic studies obtained in anaesthetized animals should be interpreted with caution.Keywords
