Abstract

The effects of isoflurane on cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and oxygen extraction (COE) as a function of perfusion pressure were studied. When added to fentanyl anesthesia, isoflurane induced a 27% and 13% decrease in CBFV and COE, respectively. CBFV became more pressure-dependent with isoflurane indicating an impaired autoregulation.
