Using morphine as a prototype opiate anesthetic, the dispositional changes and cardiovascular effects during hypothermia (30 degrees C) and hyperthermia (40 degrees C) in dogs under isoflurane anesthesia was assessed. Single intravenous bolus injection of 1 mg/kg morphine resulted in a significant and sustained decrease in mean arterial pressure in hypothermic, but not in hyperthermic or normothermic (37 degrees C) conditions. Hypothermic dogs showed significantly higher levels of morphine both in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid. In contrast, hyperthermia did not affect these levels. Body temperature did not affect the t1/2 alpha, however t1/2 beta and mean residence time were significantly increased while volume of distribution at steady state and total body clearance were decreased during hypothermia. The results provide evidence that hypothermia is likely to be associated with a sustained increase in opiate levels and might be associated with a enhanced side effects. The results suggests the need for a controlled clinical trial to assess the dose of opiate anesthetics during hypothermia.
