Spinal Cord Motoneuron Excitability during Isoflurane and Nitrous Oxide Anesthesia

Abstract: Both isoflurane alone and isoflurane plus nitrous oxide decrease H-reflex and F-wave amplitude and F-wave persistence. These effects suggest that isoflurane and nitrous oxide decrease motoneuronal excitability in the human spinal cord. This may play an important role in producing surgical immobility.

“…One limitation of this modality in the reviewed series was that the potentials were often blocked after induction of general anesthesia. 30 The use of a multiple impulse technique (short train of stimuli) helped resolve this problem. The Tc-MEPs induced by multiple stimuli were much less sensitive to the effects of general anesthesia than those evoked by a single stimulus.…”

“…TASK-1 transcripts are expressed at high levels in cranial and spinal motoneurons (Talley et al, 2000). Motoneurons directly control muscle activity, and it is therefore likely that TASK-1 activation contributes to the inhibition of motoneuron excitability and immobilization known to accompany inhalation anesthesia (Zhou et al, 1997(Zhou et al, , 1998. LC neurons are the major source of norepinephrine in the CNS and have long been implicated in control of vigilance and arousal (AstonJones et al, 1991).…”

“…Esses anestésicos, em concentrações clínicas, não afetaram significativamente a condução do nervo periférico, nem a geração de impulsos em receptores cutâneos. As latências de reflexos medulares e a contração muscular não se alteraram após exposição ao isoflurano, sugerindo que esse agente não deprime a condução axonal, nem a transmissão neuromuscular 27,28,44,47 . Todavia, alguns anestésicos parecem, in vitro, causar sensibilização de nociceptores cutâneos ligados a fibras Ad e C 48 .…”

“…Entretanto, esse não é o único local de ação dos anestésicos inalatórios na ME envolvido na supressão da resposta motora. A depressão da transmissão sináptica 24 e a diminuição da excitabilidade do motoneurô-nio espinhal [25][26][27][28] também são responsáveis pelo efeito dos anestésicos inalatórios na ME. Técnicas de engenharia genética foram desenvolvidas permitindo o estudo de receptores específicos, seja no corno posterior da ME, seja no motoneurônio alfa, na busca de mecanismos moleculares específicos dos anestésicos inalató-rios para produção da imobilidade.…”
