title: [The effects of sevoflurane and isoflurane on hepatic blood flow in man].
abstract: The influences of sevoflurane and isoflurane on hepatic blood flow (HBF) in man were investigated employing the method of continuous infusion of indocyanine green. HBF and cardiac output (CO) were measured in patients before and after induction of anesthesia with thiamylal, fentanyl, and N2O, and again during isoflurane (n = 9) or sevoflurane (n = 8) anesthesia before the start of surgery. HBF after administration of volate anesthetics increased significantly with 1MAC isoflurane, and decreased with 1 MAC sevoflurane. Although CO decreased similarly in both groups during anesthesia, the HBF/CO ratio in isoflurane group increased significantly, and the ratio in sevoflurane group did not change significantly. We conclude that whereas isoflurane increases HBF, sevoflurane does not change it in anesthetized patients.
