title: Metabolism of I-653 and isoflurane in swine.
abstract: Fluoride ion concentrations were measured in plasma samples taken from chronically instrumented domestic swine before, immediately after, and 4 hours after exposure to either I-653 or isoflurane. Each anesthetic was administered at concentrations between 0.7 and 1.6 MAC and the total dose of anesthetic given was approximately 5.5 MAC hours for each agent. Plasma fluoride ion concentrations immediately after and 4 hours after exposure to isoflurane were approximately three times greater than values obtained in awake swine before anesthesia. In contrast, swine given I-653 had no detectable elevation in plasma fluoride concentration immediately after anesthesia, but a 17% (P less than 0.05) increase in plasma fluoride ion concentration 4 hours after anesthesia. These results imply that I-653 is metabolized less than is isoflurane in swine.
