title: [The effects of sevoflurane anesthesia with hypothermia on ischemic brain cellular respiration].
abstract: We examined the effects of sevoflurane anesthesia with hypothermia on ischemic brain cellular respiration using Wistar strain rats. Ischemia was induced by decapitation. L/P in brain increased during no anesthesia-normothermia-ischemia (1), then gradually, but not fully recovered during 2.5% sevoflurane anesthesia-normothermia-ischemia (2) and during 2.5% sevoflurane anesthesia-hypothermia-ischemia (3). Energy charge decreased during (1) and slight recovery was observed during (3). Respiratory control ratio in brain mitochondria decreased during (1) and recovery during (2) and (3) was slight. No recovery was observed in ADP/O. These findings indicate that during sevoflurane anesthesia with hypothermia, ischemic brain energy metabolism has an effect not on the mitochondrial energy producing processes but on the consuming system.
