Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of sevoflurane and desflurane on ultrastructure of the lung and pulmonary surfactant-related protein A (SP-A) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) concentrations in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid ( HALF). Methods Fifty healthy Wistar rats of either sex weighing 200-280 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10 each) : group Ⅱ control; group Ⅱ sevoflurane 1.0 MAC (S1); group Ⅲ sevoflurane 1.5 MAC (S2); group Ⅳ desflurane 1.0 MAC (D1) and group Ⅴ desflurane 1.5 MAC (D2). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 100 mg?kg-1 , tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated (VT = 8 ml?kg-1 , RR = 65-70 bpm) . PETCO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg. In control group the animals received mechanical ventilation for 4 h without any inhalation anesthetic. In group Ⅳ - Ⅴ sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia was maintained for 4 h. The animals were then killed and the lungs removed for microscopic examination with electron microscope and broncho-alveolar lavage. The HALF was collected for determination of SP-A and PC concentrations. Results In control group the type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells were round or oval in shape, abundant in cytoplasma. The microvilli were only slightly destroyed.The lamellar bodies were structurally intact and concentrically arranged. While in group S1, S2, D1 and D2 the microvilli were destroyed to a greater degree and became shorter. The lamellar bodies were decreased in number with many vacuoles. The SP-A and PC concentrations in BALF were significantly decreased in group S1, S2, D1 and D2 as compared to control group. Conclusion Inhalation of different concentrations of isoflurane or desflurane for 4 h reduces the number of lamellar bodies with vacuolization and SP-A and PC concentrations in BALF indicating decreased synthesis of pulmonary surfactant.
