Administration of several of the inhaled anesthetics result in plasma inorganic fluoride concentrations that are higher in obese compared to nonobese patients. Sevoflurane, a new inhaled anesthetic, is metabolized to inorganic fluoride; however, plasma inorganic fluoride levels with sevoflurane anesthesia in obese subjects have not been evaluated. We studied plasma inorganic fluoride concentrations during and after sevoflurane surgical anesthesia in morbidly obese (n = 13, body mass index > 35) and nonobese (n = 10) patients. Sevoflurane anesthesia in 60% nitrous oxide/40% oxygen was administered with a semiclosed circle absorption system. Mean anesthetic duration was 1.4 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration (MAC) hours (sevoflurane MAC = 2.05%) for both groups. Pre- and postoperative blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and liver function tests were evaluated. Venous blood samples were obtained during and after anesthesia for plasma inorganic fluoride analysis. In six morbidly obese and nonobese patients arterial blood samples were obtained during and after sevoflurane anesthesia for determining sevoflurane blood concentration. Plasma fluoride concentrations during and after anesthesia did not differ between morbidly obese and non-obese groups. Peak plasma inorganic fluoride ion concentrations were 30 +/- 2 mumol/L (mean +/- SEM) in obese and 28 +/- 2 mumol/L in nonobese patients 1 h after discontinuing anesthesia. The hourly rate of change of fluoride ion concentration in plasma during anesthesia was similar between the groups. The maximal recorded plasma fluoride concentrations were 49 mumol/L in an obese patient and 42 mumol/L in a nonobese patient. Pre- and postoperative hepatic and renal tests did not differ significantly in either group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
