The influence of four different types of anaesthesia -- halothane and enflurane inhalation anaestheis, neurolept analgesia and epidural analgesia with single shot technique -- on the serum levels of GOT, GPT, GLDH, LDH, AP, LAP, gamma-GT, total protein and bilirubin was examined in 104 comparable cases undergoing gynaecological surgery. A significant increase in GOT, GPT, GLDH, AP, and gamma-GT levels was observed between the 6th and 9th postoperative day with all types of anaesthesia. The serum levels remained elevated until the 15th postoperative day. There was no significant difference between the four types of anaesthesia as regarded their effects on the serum constituents investigated. The same applied to the serum CHE activity which reached a minimum on the 3rd postoperative day followed by a steady rise. The results indicate that the postoperative changes of the liver enzyme pattern are not related to the type of anaesthesia used. Bilirubin was elevated on the first postoperative day, then dropped rapidly and stayed below the pre-operative values until the 12th postoperative day. There was no difference between the four types of anaesthesia. Glucuronisation of bilirubin may be inhibited initially by the anaesthetic agents. The subsequent rapid fall of the bilirubin levels may be the result of enzyme induction.

The influence of general anaesthesia for operations devoid of substantial tissue traumas on the postoperative pattern of hepatic enzymes was studied in 40 patients undergoing ophthalmologic surgery. 20 had neurolept analgesia, 20 had halothane anaesthesia. The duration of anaesthesia, age of the patients and their previous history corresponded fairly closely to those of a group of patients who had gynaecological operations and were the subject of a previous study. In contrast to the latter group total protein, cholinesterase, GOT, GPT, LDH, GLDH, AP, LAP and gamma-GT remained normal up to 12 days after the operation. The exception were changes in the total bilirubin levels which were similar to those observed in the gynaecological cases. Possible causes are discussed.

Total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl, and ketamine (FK) was administered to 56 pediatric surgical patients ranging in ages from 5 to 15 years to evaluate their hemodynamics during anesthesia, post-operative hepatic as well as renal functions, and post-operative sedation as well as analgesia. These data were compared with those of the patients who underwent almost the same surgical procedures under enflurane-N2O anesthesia. The post-operative s-GOT, s-GPT, BUN, creatinine levels were not elevated significantly as compared with pre-operative levels in the FK group. As compared with those patients who received enflurane anesthesia, the blood pressure in the FK groups was higher by 15-30 mmHg, but it was stable during anesthesia without any complications. Their post-operative sedation and analgesia were better in the FK group than in the enflurane group and the complications such as nausea and vomiting were observed less frequently in the FK patients than in the patients who received anesthesia with ketamine alone reported in literatures. The data described above suggest that this method of anesthesia deserves further detailed clinical trials for pediatric patients.
