Abstract

The changes of the serum potaseum, chloride and CO2 concentration during ether, halothane, enflurane and balanced anesthesia were compared before anesthesia and during anesthesia 78 surgical patients. Anesthesia induced by thiopenthal sodium and maintained by ether, halothane, enflurane and niteous oxide produces little change in the serum sodium, potassium,, and chioride concentrations. But the serum potassium concentration falls during balanced anesthesia after 60minutes. Except in either anesthesia, ther is a significant decrease in the serum carbon dioxide concentration during halothane, and balanced anesthesis.
