Abstract
Many years after the introduction of the volatile anesthetics isoflurane and enflurane into clinical practice, still no agreement has been reached about the influence of these anesthetics on organ blood flow. This vagueness is partly due to the fact that on the one hand different working groups chose different end expiratory concentrations of the anesthetics in their studies [1, 4, 17], but on the other hand often added nitrous oxide to the inspired air to maintain realistic clinical conditions [3, 16]. The objective of this work is a direct comparison of the effects of equianesthetic concentrations of the inhalation anesthetics enflurane and isoflurane on general hemodynamics, regional organ blood flow, and oxygen supply of hepatic tissue.
