title: Effect of general anesthetics on human granulocyte chemiluminescence.
abstract: The effect of general anesthetics on human granulocyte 'phagocytic capacity' was tested, both in vivo and in vitro, by means of chemiluminescence. Halothane and ethrane produced a consistent degree of chemiluminescence inhibition, which, in vitro, was clearly dose-dependent.
