The Absence of Antagonism by Naloxone during Halothane/Nitrous Oxide Anaesthesia in Man

B. A. MACLEOD 1, F. C. PING 1, and L. C. JENKINS 1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, Vancouver General Hospital

Sixteen patients were studied to determine if naloxone could be shown to affect general anaesthesia with halothane and oxygen or nitrous oxide and oxygen with halothane. Changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, electroencephalogram and evidence of physical response were observed. The end-tidal halothane and carbon dioxide were controlled. The temperature and blood gases were held constant, as was the degree of neuromuscular blockade. Naloxone 1.2 mg was administered during general anaesthesia with either halothane in oxygen or halothane with nitrous oxide to 16 patients who were premedicated without a narcotic. No significant responses were recorded.
