  • Effects of the neuroleptanalgesic fentanyl-Fluanisone (Hypnorm) on spike-wave discharges in epileptic rats
    Pharmacology biochemistry and behavior, 1994
    Co-Authors: Maki Inoue, Nurbay Ates, Jo M.h. Vossen, A.m.l. Coenen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Effects of fentanyl-Fluanisone (Hypnorm), a combination often used as a neuroleptanalgesic and anaesthetic, were investigated on spike-wave discharges of epileptic WAG/Rij rats. Fentanyl-Fluanisone has stimulating effects on the amount of spike-wave discharges, but not in a dose-dependent manner. A low dose of 0.01 mg/kg fentanyl with 0.5 mg/kg Fluanisone causes a large increase in epileptic activity. This effect is larger than with a middle dose of 0.1 mg/kg fentanyl and 5 mg/kg Fluanisone and much larger than with a high dose of 0.2 mg/kg fentanyl with 10 mg/kg Fluanisone. The last two doses cause a prolonged anaesthetic state in rats. The frequency of the spikes in the spike-wave discharges was decreased by the mixture of fentanyl-Fluanisone; this decrease was dose-dependent. Administration of fentanyl alone in the same doses as in the combination abolishes spike-wave activity during the anaesthetic phase but causes a moderate increase after this phase. It also causes a lowering in spike frequency, which is of the same order as with fentanyl-Fluanisone. The mechanisms of action of fentanyl are not completely clear, but the opposite effects of μ- and κ -opioid receptors on spike-wave discharges may play a role in this biphasic effect. Fluanisone alone in the same doses as in the mixture induces a large dose-dependent increase in spike-wave activity, with only a small effect on spike frequency. This might be caused by the antagonistic action of this drug at dopamine receptors. The complexity of the stimulatory effects on spike-wave discharges caused by fentanyl-Fluanisone is due to an interaction of the suppressive- stimulatory effects of fentanyl together with the facilitatory effects of Fluanisone.

  • the effects of post operative oxygen supply on blood oxygenation and acid base status in rats anaesthetized with fentanyl Fluanisone and midazolam
    PLOS ONE, 2021
    Co-Authors: Leander Gaarde, Stefanie Hansborg Kolstrup, Peter Bollen
    Abstract:

    In anaesthetic practice the risk of hypoxia and arterial blood gas disturbances is evident, as most anaesthetic regimens depress the respiratory function. Hypoxia may be extended during recovery, and for this reason we wished to investigate if oxygen supply during a one hour post-operative period reduced the development of hypoxia and respiratory acidosis in rats anaesthetized with fentanyl/Fluanisone and midazolam. Twelve Sprague Dawley rats underwent surgery and were divided in two groups, breathing either 100% oxygen or atmospheric air during a post-operative period. The peripheral blood oxygen saturation and arterial acid-base status were analyzed for differences between the two groups. We found that oxygen supply after surgery prevented hypoxia but did not result in a significant difference in the blood acid-base status. All rats developed respiratory acidosis, which could not be reversed by supplemental oxygen supply. We concluded that oxygen supply improved oxygen saturation and avoided hypoxia but did not have an influence on the acid-base status.

    Abstract:

    Vital signs with oxygen saturation (a), heart rate (b), respiratory rate (c) and rectal temperature (d) of rats after surgery under fentanyl/Fluanisone and midazolam anaesthesia. T0 represents measurements immediately after surgery. Measurements 30 and 60 minutes after surgery are indicated by T30 or T60 respectively. Oxygen supply is indicated by +O2 (with oxygen supply) and -O2 (without oxygen supply). Symbol shape indicates +O2 group for circle and -O2 group for square. In (a) **** indicates p2) and T60(-O2) versus all other measure points. In (c) * indicates p2) and T30(+O2) versus T60(-O2), and in (d) *** indicates p2). HR: Heart rate, RR: Respiratory rate, Temp: Temperature. Values are means ± standard deviations.
