Rats which had approximately 25-30% of their calculated blood volume removed were exposed to halothane (1%) or enflurane (2%) in 33% oxygen for 30 min. Hepatic function was evaluated by determining, at various time intervals, serum activities of glutamic-oxalacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, acid phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase. In this model serum enzyme activities and animal mortality were significantly increased when hypovolemic hypotension was induced during halothane anaesthesia. The same events did not occur in bleeding animals anaesthetized with enflurane. The marked disparity in hepatic dysfunction and mortality between halothane and enflurane-anaesthetized rats during hypovolemic hypotension may be explained by the more pronounced decrease of oxygen available for the liver and production of reductive toxic intermediates in animals exposed to halothane.
