Effects of isoflurane exposure on physiological parameters of arterial blood gas analysis in neonatal rats
| Con | Iso | ChIV+iso | ChIV | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PH | 7.32±0.06 | 7.33±0.03 | 7.34±0.06 | 7.33±0.05 |
| PaCO2 (mmHg) | 37.7±3.9 | 40.5±3.3 | 39.2±4.4 | 37.1±3.0 |
| PaO2 (mmHg) | 104±11 | 106±9 | 108±12 | 103±9 |
| Glucose (mmol/L) | 4.3±0.9 | 3.9±0.4 | 4.2±0.6 | 4.5±0.8 |
| SaO2 (%) | 99±1.2 | 98±0.8 | 98±1.1 | 99±0.6 |
The pH, PaCO2, PaO2, glucose and SaO2 levels did not differ significantly among the four groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5 per group). PaO2, arterial oxygen tension; PaCO2, arterial carbon dioxide tension; SaO2, arterial oxygen saturation.
