The Effects of Anesthesia and Hypothermia on Canine Cerebral ATP and Lactate during Anoxia Produced by Decapitation

Abstract

ATP and lactate in the canine brain were determined before and during cerebral anoxia induced by decapitation, both at 30 C during halothane anesthesia (0.8 per cent) and at 37 C during four anesthetic circumstances (nitrous oxide, 70 per cent; halothane, 0.8 per cent; halothane, <0.1 per cent; and
