| Research Abstract |
Intravenous sedation is widely used during the general management of oral surgery. One of the most common complications of this technique is the pulmonary aspiration. Cough reflex is an airway protective reflex that prevents the pulmonary aspiration. It has been unclear which part of the reflex pathway is affected by the intravenous anesthetics. In the present study, we evaluated the GABAergic modulation on the parasympathetic reflex vasodilatation in orofacial area, which has the similar reflex pathway to cough reflex. Microinjection of either GABA, GABA_A receptor agonist, or GABA_B receptor agonist significantly inhibited the parasympathetic reflex vasodilatation in the lower lip, which were blocked by each receptor antagonists.
