Effects of anesthetics on splanchnic circulation and metabolism.
In the last 10 years intense interest in "halothane hepatitis" plus simpler and more reliable technology for measuring splanchnic blood flow have led to a fuller understanding of the splanchnic effects of anesthetics. For the first time, a rational choice of anesthetic technique can be made for the patient with splanchnic organ dysfunction.
