  • Title: The effect of thiopental sodium, methoxyflurane and halothane on the acid-base status in sheep.
    Author: Edjtehadi M, Howard BR.
    Journal: Can J Comp Med; 1978 Jul; 42(3):364-7. PubMed ID: 688076.
    Abstract:
    Experiments have been carried out on 20 adult fat-tailed ewes to determine the effects of thiopental sodium, methoxyflurane and halothane on acid-base status of the saliva loss during prolonged surgical anaesthesia. The rate of loss of base in saliva depends on the volume of saliva produced, which fell sharply at the onset of anesthesia with the volatile anaesthesia. Plasma pH and plasma pvCO2 excess were both increased by the volatile anaesthetics but fell sharply during thiopental anaesthesia. Plasma pH and plasma PvCO2 showed no consistent relationship.
