Topic: Halothane


  
  Detail product description of halothane, from its composition to storage instructions
The use of halothane is generally not recommended in obstetrics because of the increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage.
Halothane has a depressant action on the cardiovascular system and reduces blood pressure; signs of overdosage are bradycardia and profound hypotension.
Halothane reduces muscle tone in the pregnant uterus and generally its use is not recommended in obstetrics because of the increased risk.

 ENFLURANE AND HALOTHANE - (Organic Method #29)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Studies to determine the 5% breakthrough values were done for enflurane and halothane simultaneously at twice the target concentration using an entire charcoal tube ("A" and "B" portion) with a flow of 0.1 L/min.
The atmosphere in the system was 2 ppm of halothane and enflurane, each, with approximately 80% relative humidity at 21°C. Sampling this atmosphere was performed using a charcoal tube containing both sections of charcoal.
The average breakthrough air volumes are 18.5 L for enflurane and 15.9 L for halothane.

 Halothane
Halothane is a highly volatile, clear, nonflammable, colorless liquid with a pleasant odor.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to halothane, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
Halothane is not subject to EPA emergency planning requirements under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) (Title III) [42 USC 11022].

 Using Volatile Anaesthetic Agents (page 2)
Halothane sensitises the heart to adrenaline and predisposes the patient to developing arrhythmias.
Halothane alone is not ideal: because it has no analgesic properties and high concentrations are needed to abolish reflex activity.
The combination of high concentrations of halothane, oxygen and air, high levels of carbon dioxide (from respiratory depression) and heart disease is potentially very hazardous for the patient, especially if the pulse is not adequately monitored for arrhythmias.

 Chemistry - Halothane
Halothane is still widely used in veterinary surgery and the third world because of its lower cost.
After multiple exposures to halothane, however, the risk of developing severe liver damage increases.
This is because a small fraction of the vapour is metabolised to neoantigens.

 Halothane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halothane became popular as a nonflammable general anaesthetic replacing other volatile anaesthetics such as as diethyl ether and cyclopropane.
Descendants of flurane, enflurane, and isoflurane, were developed largely with the aim to find anaesthetic vapours which are not metabolised to the same extent as halothane.
Halothane sensitizes cardiac muscle to the effects of norepinephrine.

 GASMAN Chapter 6. HALOTHANE
I knew there was some controversy over the effect of halothane on the liver in a small number of patients, but ill effects such as liver failure were extremely rare and certainly much less common than with some of the drugs that the physicians themselves prescribed quite happily.
These results redemonstrate the reversibility of the action of halothane at a cellular level, and suggest that the reported postoperative depression of the lymphocyte response to PHA is not a direct result of inhalational anaesthesia.
Possibly the halothane was broken down in the body in an unusual way in some people and this might become more important if they were exposed to it on one or more previous occasions.

 Rat & Mouse Gazette: Euthanasia
When it is time, I settle down on the bed or the sofa with a nice, plush towel for the rattie to be comfortable on.
I pour some Halothane onto a couple of cotton balls that have been placed in a clean and empty small baby food jar.
Halothane is not unpleasant, but the rat usually moves away from the jar at first.

 UCLA Department of Anesthesiology
In this test a small piece of muscle is obtained under regional or general anesthesia and while still viable is placed in a special solution and attached to a device which measures the force of contraction.
The muscle strip is then exposed to either Halothane (an inhalational anesthetic) or caffeine and the response measured.
A response to Halothane or a response to low concentrations of caffeine are considered diagnostic for malignant hyperthermia susceptible muscle.

 Carentanil / halothane gas use by Russian military "gas" to incapacitate Chechen rebels at Moscow theater   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
In this analysis, we review the events surrounding the use of a calmative "gas" during the Russian military action and discuss what is currently known about fentanyl derivatives, their aerosolization, and the rationale for their use as incapacitating agents.
Collectively, the available evidence strongly suggests that a combination of a potent aerosolized fentanyl derivative, such as carfentanil, and an inhalational anesthetic, such as halothane, was used.
The paper also assesses potential errors leading to the loss of a substantial number of hostages.
