Cholinergic Chemotransmission and Anesthetic Drug Effects at the Carotid Bodies

Abstract: General anesthesia is obtained by administration of potent hypnotics, analgesics and muscle relaxants. Apart from their intended effects (loss of consciousness, pain relief and muscle relaxation), these agents profoundly affect the control of breathing, in part by an effect within the peripheral chemoreflex loop that originates at the carotid bodies. This review assesses the role of cholinergic chemotransmission in the peripheral chemoreflex loop and the mechanisms through which muscle relaxants and hypnotics … Show more

“…Anesthesia allows the performing of surgical procedures in a rapid, safe, and pleasant manner, producing analgesia, absence of awareness, and adequate muscle relaxation when needed [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. A critical aspect of perioperative anesthetic care is the maintenance of homeostasis, including hemodynamic stability, oxygenation, ventilation, and temperature.…”
