Anesthesia in Renal Transplantation

Enflurane Anesthesia in Living Donor Renal Transplantation

“…Such drugs are those which are completely metabolized to inactive metabolites, eliminated by ventilation, or excreted by the bile and intestine. The commonly used method is balanced anesthesia including induction with barbiturate, non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers for relaxation, nitrous oxide and analgesics for maintenance, and sometimes succinylcholine for intubation and halothane for maintenance (DHUNER et al 1968, SAMUEL & POWELL 1970, ALDRETE et al 1971, WICK-STROM 1976, ROUSE et al 1977, DAVIE 1979. With these methods, the most frequent complications are insufficient decurarization and recurarization (HOFER et al 1969, GLDREI'E et al 1971, POPESCU 1972, LOGAN et al 1974, MORGAN & LUMLEY 1975, WICKSTROM 1976, ROUSE et al 1977, since the non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers are mainly dependent on renal function for their elimination (GIBALDI et al 1972, Buet al 1969).…”
