Research Abstract

We assessed the analgesic and anesthetic effects induced subanesthetic concentration of inhalational anesthetics in six healthy volunteers. Analgesic effect was measured as the change in pain threshold using animproved radiant heat algometer. Anesthetic effect was assessed as theprolongation in response time to random auditory stimuli. In the first study, six inhalationl anesthetics eqivalent to 0.2MAC (methoxyflurane, halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, sevoflurane, nitrous oxide) were administered to the subjects. The pain threshold was significantly elevated with nitrous oxide and slightly with methoxyflurane. The pain threshold with other anesthetics was not different from control. The reponse time was significantly, not uniformly prolonged with all the anesthetics. These results suggest that the analgesic property of inhalational anesthetics poorly contributes to anesthetic depth as measured by MAC which is determined by painful stimuli. The second study was aimed to determine;1) the changes of the analgesic and anesthetic actions of nitrous oxide under subanesthetic inhalation(30%), and 2) the possible antagonism of naloxone in these actions. Six volunteers were treated with or without intravenous administration of 1.4mg naloxone. Both anesthetic and analgesic effects did not change during 100 min inhalation or administration of naloxone. These results indicate that the acute tolerance to these actions of nitrous oxide will not occur, and that naloxone will not show a significant antagonstic asctions which can be observed aganist morphine. Analgesic action remained 30 min after nitrous oxide inhalation, while auditory response time returned control values. Analgesic action of nitrous oxide was thought to be affected by some biochemical mechanism.
