Anesthetic Drug-Induced Neurotoxicity and Compromised Neural Stem Cell Proliferation

Cheng Wang Fang Liu Tucker Patterson Merle Paule William Slikker

Published in Journal of Drug and Alcohol Research

Introduction. Because of obvious concerns, it is not possible to thoroughly explore the adverse effects of anesthetics in children. However, the availability of neural stem cell derived models has provided an invaluable tool to examine the etiology of neurotoxicity associated with developmental exposure to general anesthetics. Stem cells and neurot...

Published in Journal of Drug and Alcohol Research

Anesthetics have been used for years in pediatric patients without clinical evidence of adverse central nervous system (CNS) sequelae. In the current study, postnatal day (PND) 5–6 rhesus monkeys were exposed to nitrous oxide (N 2 O; 70%) alone, isoflurane (ISO; 1.0%) alone, or N 2 O plus ISO for 8 h. Six hours after completion of anesthetic admini...
