Calcium uptake into muscle of pigs susceptible to malignant hyperthermia: in vitro and in vivo studies with and without halothane.

abstract：:Using cats with chronically implanted brain electrodes, we have compared the effects of propofol on CNS electrical activities with those of thiopentone. Ten cats were allocated to receive either propofol (n = 5) or thiopentone (n = 5). Cats were anaesthetized initially with 4% halothane in oxygen. The trachea was intu...
