Background: Many volatile anesthetics have long been thought to affect alveolar epithelial permeability. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of volatile anesthetics on the permeability of the alveolocapillary barrier to Tc-99m DTPA. Methods: Twenty-seven patients (24 females, 3 males, age 29-73 years) undergoing operation were enrolled in this study and grouped according to the type of anesthesia received. Group 1 patients were administered 1% halothane. Group 2 patients were given 1.5% isoflurane. Intravenous anesthesia without volatile anesthetics were used for group 3 patients. Before and after anesthesia, Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation lung scans were performed to detect alveolar epithelial injury due to volatile anesthetics. The negative slope of the regression line was designated as the Tc-99m DTPA pulmonary clearance rate and was expressed in terms of percentage decrease in radioactivity per minute. Results: In group 1, the Tc-99m DTPA clearance rates were 1.26 +/- 0.34 and 1.29 +/- 0.38 before and after anesthesia, respectively. The difference was not significant (p > 0.05). In group 2, the rates were 0.76 +/- 0.20 and 1.10 +/- 0.37, before and after anesthesia, respectively. The difference was significant (p < 0.05). In group 3, the clearance rates were 1.07 +/- 0.38 and 1.21 +/- 0.48, before and after anesthesia, respectively. The difference was not significant. Conclusions: Following isoflurane administration, the more rapid pulmonary clearance of Tc-99m DTPA indicates that isoflurane increases the permeability of the alveolo-capillary barrier.
