Effect of halothane on baroreceptor response in newborn and adult rabbits

Abstract:

The authors studied 4 8-10 day old and 10 adult rabbits under halothane anesthesia. The baroreceptor response progressively decreased in both groups as anesthesia was deepened. The newborns' response was significantly less (p<0.05) than the adults' at all levels of anesthesia. At 0.5 MAC 80% of the response was lost in the newborn while the adults lost only 32% of their response.
