Effect of general anesthetics on human granulocyte chemiluminescence.
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.
