title: Effect of halothane on metabolic ATP and induced aggregation of human blood platelets.
abstract: The general anaesthetic halothane decreases both the metabolic ATP level and the aggregability of blood platelets. Evaluation of the dose dependence of these halothane effects reveals that the loss of aggregability is not the direct result of an impaired energy metabolism.
