Effects of sevoflurane and enflurane on lower esophageal sphincter pressure and gastroesophageal pressure gradient in children

Abstract: Sevoflurane and enflurane have an inhibitory effect on LES smooth muscle in anesthetized children. However, since the reduction was relatively low, even at high concentrations, these inhalation anesthetics are unlikely to influence gastroesophageal reflux during anesthesia.

“…When combined with 66% nitrous oxide, both sevoflurane and enflurane cause a small reduction in esophageal barrier pressure in children. 9 In adult humans, nitrous oxide administered alone or in combination with halothane or enflurane causes a decrease in GESP of 64%, 25%, and 28%, respectively. 10 In dogs, administration of isoflurane and halothane are associated with some reduction in GESP and barrier pressure is reduced by 21%.…”

“…12 The authors questioned the role that propofol, NPO status, endoscopy with air insufflation, decreased oral intake and decreased activity played in these differences. There is some literature on the effects of propofol on LES pressures; 13 however, no correlation to reflux has been made. Previous studies on the effects of anesthesia on GER are very limited and are mainly in the veterinary literature.…”
