Intermittent Hypoxia Induction Alters Onset of Anesthesia Time and Limb Withdrawal Reflex Time in Rats

Abstract

Sodium thiopental is rapid-acting and intravenous anesthetic as non-opioid agents. Hypoxia is the subnormal concentration of oxygen in cells. Recent years, researchers discuss on hypoxia: Friend or Foe? The present study was conducted to examine the effect of intermittent hypoxia on thiopental anesthesia.
