Laparoscopy: blood-gas values and minor sequelae associated with three techniques based on isoflurane.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mechanosensory thalamocortical relay neurones (TCNs) receive glutamatergic excitatory input and are subjected to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)Aergic inhibitory input. This study assessed the effects of an increase in concentration of isoflurane on thalamic excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms. METHODS:TCNs...
