New Insights into the Biotransformation of Anesthetic Drugs and Their Effect on Application

Year 1975, Volume: 28 Issue: 1-2, 443 - 458, 30.06.1975

Abstract

Abnormal reactions to anesthetic agents are not uncommon during anesthesia. Clinically significant reactions include halothane hepatotoxicity, methoxyflurane nephrotoxicity, and malignant hyperthermia. This article explores new insights into the biotransformation of anesthetic agents and their implications for clinical practice. Currently, a metabolic explanation for abnormal reactions to anesthetic agents appears to be a valid hypothesis.

Anestezik İlâçların Biyotransformasyonu Ve Uygulamaya Etkisi Yönünden Yeni Görüşler

Year 1975, Volume: 28 Issue: 1-2, 443 - 458, 30.06.1975

Abstract

Anestezi uygulamasında anestezik ajanlara karşı anormal reaksiyonların görülmesi nadir değildir. Bu reaksiyonlar arasın- da klinik önemi olanlar halotan hepatotoksisitesi, methoxyflurane nefrotoksisitesi ve malign hipertermidir. Bu makalede anestezik maddelerin biyotransformasyonunda yeni görüşler ve bunun klinik uygulamaya olan etkisi izah edil- meğe çalışılmaktadır. Bugün için anestezik maddelere karşı gö- rülen anormal reaksiyonların metabolik etki ile izahı geçerli bir hipotez gibi görülmektedir.
