Experimental data suggest γ-aminobutyric acid-A receptor preferring general anesthetics (GA) may increase post-operative pain in patients with persistent inflammation (PI). This study was designed to begin to test this prediction. Groups of rats were defined by the presence of inflammation, surgical intervention and/or the type of GA used for a three-hour period of anesthesia. PI was induced with complete Freund's adjuvant. The surgical intervention was a plantar incision. Three mechanistically distinct GAs were used: pentobarbital, ketamine/xylazine and isoflurane. Ongoing pain and hypersensitivity was assessed with guarding behavior analysis and the von Frey test, respectively. There was no influence of GA type on the magnitude or time course of recovery from post-operative hypersensitivity in the absence of PI. In the presence of PI, however, recovery from hypersensitivity was significantly slower in the pentobarbital group than in ketamine/xylazine or isoflurane groups. The pentobarbital effect was significant within three days of surgery, and persisted through the remainder of the testing period. A comparable delay in recovery was observed in pentobarbital-anesthetized inflamed rats not subjected to hindpaw incision. The time to 50% recovery in pentobarbital treated inflamed groups was almost double that in the other groups. No differences were observed between ketamine/xylazine and isoflurane. Pentobarbital exposure did not increase guarding scores. These results suggest that γ-aminobutyric acid-A receptor preferring GAs may have deleterious consequences when used in the presence of PI.
