General anesthetics threaten cardiovascular stability by causing changes in cardiac
function, vascular reactivity, and cardiovascular reflexes and significantly alter distribution of …

General anesthetics cause hemodynamic instability and alter blood flow to various organs.
There is mounting evidence that most general anesthetics, at clinical concentrations …

Introduction This study was designed to compare the inhibitory effect of inhaled volatile
anesthetic agents on in situ sympathetic neural versus nonneural regulation of vascular …

The purpose of this review is to provide the anaesthetists with a comprehensive update on
the endothelial-cell control of local blood flow. This single cell layer was originally thought to …

IMPLICATIONS: This study demonstrates that lidocaine attenuates cytokine-induced injury of
endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells via mechanisms involving adenosine …

For more than 100 yr, scientists have studied the sympathetic nervous system and its
cardiovascular control mechanisms. Muscle sympathetic activity is the most important direct …

The circulatory consequences of neuraxial regional anesthesia are almost completely due to
sympathetic block. Both desirable and harmful changes result from interruption of …

Background Volatile anesthetics have protective effects against cytokine-induced injury in
endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. The authors hypothesized that isoflurane …

The focus of the present review is on how interference with various ion channels in the heart
may be the molecular basis for cardiac side‐effects of gaseous anesthetics …

Acute homeostatic control of arterial blood pressure is mediated in part by the baroreceptor
reflex. Any disorders that produce change in arterial blood pressure from its set point are …
