Influence of propofol on isolated neonatal rat carotid body glomus cell response to hypoxia and hypercapnia
In humans the intravenous anaesthetic propofol depresses ventilatory responses to hypoxia and CO2. Animal studies suggest that this may in part be due to inhibition of synaptic transmission between chemoreceptor glomus cells of the carotid body and the afferent carotid sinus nerve. It is however unk...
