We evaluated regional cerebral and spinal cord blood flow in rats during isoflurane anesthesia. Tissue blood flow was measured in cerebral cortex, subcortex, midbrain, and spinal cord using radioactive microspheres. Blood flow autoregulation was measured within the following arterial blood pressure ranges (mm Hg): 1 = less than 50, 2 = 50-90, 3 = 90-130, 4 = 130-170, 5 = greater than 170. Arterial blood pressure was increased using phenylephrine infusion and decreased with ganglionic blockade and hemorrhage. Three treatment groups were studied: 1 = awake control, 2 = 1.0 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) isoflurane, 3 = 2.0 MAC isoflurane. Autoregulation was seen in awake rats from 50 to 170 mm Hg in all tissues. The autoregulatory coefficient (change in blood flow/change in blood pressure) was increased in midbrain and spinal cord during 1.0 MAC isoflurane and in all tissues during 2.0 MAC isoflurane (P less than 0.05). Within the arterial blood pressure range of 90-130 mm Hg, isoflurane produced the following changes in tissue blood flow (percent of awake control): 1.0 MAC isoflurane: cortex = 87% +/- 8% (P greater than 0.30), subcortex = 124% +/- 11% (P greater than 0.05), midbrain = 263% +/- 20% (P less than 0.001), spinal cord = 278% +/- 19% (P less than 0.001); 2.0 MAC isoflurane: cortex = 137% +/- 13% (P less than 0.05), subcortex = 272% +/- 24% (P less than 0.001), midbrain = 510% +/- 53% (P less than 0.001), spinal cord = 535% +/- 50% (P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
