Isoflurane Provides Neuroprotection in Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury

Abstract: Isoflurane is a volatile anesthetic that is widely used clinically as an inhalational anesthetic. In recent years, several studies have indicated that isoflurane has neuroprotective properties. This has led to the beneficial effects of isoflurane being analyzed in both cell culture and animal models, including various models of brain injury. Neonatal hypoxia ischemia may be characterized as injury that occurs in the immature brain, resulting in delayed cell death via excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. These … Show more

“…Anesthesia was provided with isoflurane which may have protective properties; 32, 33 however, isoflurane was provided to all animals in both groups, yet survival only occurred in the BP care group. 30, 31 Finally, our study was not blinded, so objective measures for rate, depth, leaning and ventilation, and strict adherence to a prospective post-cardiac arrest protocol were implemented to minimize risk for bias.…”

“…In 20–40% of HI cases, infants develop neurological disorders, such as mental retardation, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy (Vannucci et al, 1999). Various experimental therapies have been investigated for improving HI patient outcomes and quality of life, yet successful clinical translation has been limited (Burchell et al, 2013; Koenigsberger, 2000; Zanelli et al, 2009). Thus it is of the utmost importance to identify novel therapeutics with potential for clinical translation.…”

“…Isoflurane is a widely used inhaled anesthetic, which reduces pain sensitivity via modulation of the neurotransmitter receptors, and exerts protective properties through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [11, 12]. Prospects for the clinical usage of isoflurane (1.2-2.5%) have been hampered due to its adverse systemic effects [11]; however, our previous studies have shown that subanesthetic isoflurane (0.7%) protects against zymosan-induced lung injury by upregulating antioxidant enzymes and inhibiting inflammatory responses via the reduction of iNOS induction and NO production in neutrophils [7].…”
