Influence of sodium pentobarbital on splanchnic blood flow and related functions

Abstract
Eleven mongrel dogs were trained to lie quietly while splanchnic blood flows and splanchnic metabolisms were determined. They were then anesthetized by means of intravenous injection of 28.4 mg/kg of sodium pentobarbital and studies of the hepatic circulation continued for an additional 70 minutes. Only minor, transitory alterations were observed in the parameters being measured. It was concluded that with this particular anesthetic agent splanchnic blood flows and oxygen consumption were essentially at control unanesthetized levels within 30–45 minutes postanesthesia.
