The Chronotropic Function of Propofol and the Underlying Mechanism in Rabbits

The report of bradycardia caused by propofol is increasing. In the experiment, we investigated the chronotropic function of propofol and the underlying mechanism. Rabbits of both sexes were randomly divided into 4 groups: propofol 5 mg/kg group, 10 mg/kg group, 15 mg/kg group, and sham group. Heart...

In the experiment, we investigated the chronotropic function of propofol and the underlying mechanism.

description The report of bradycardia caused by propofol is increasing. In the experiment, we investigated the chronotropic function of propofol and the underlying mechanism. Rabbits of both sexes were randomly divided into 4 groups: propofol 5 mg/kg group, 10 mg/kg group, 15 mg/kg group, and sham group. Heart rate and frequency of vagal efferent discharge were recorded before the injection and 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 10 min after the injection through intravenous mode. Then, their hearts were removed, and sinoatrial nodes were dissected. The action potentials of the sinus node pacemaker cells were recorded by the intracellular glass microelectrode technique, and the sinoatrial (SA) node was exposed to propofol 1, 3, 5, and 10 µM respectively.
