Enflurane Epinephrine

Enflurane produces a dose-related decrease in systemic arterial blood pressure secondary to reductions in cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. There is evidence that cardiac output is partially maintained by a compensatory increase in heart rate. This effect seems dependent on a degree of hypercardia and does not occur during controlled ventilation. Enflurane and halothane depress myocardial contractility to a similar extent and less than isoflurane. Enflurane does not sensitise the heart to the effects of catecholamines to any significant extent and adrenaline (epinephrine) may be given subcutaneously for control of bleeding. 

Patients anaesthetised with inhalational anaesthetics (particularly cyclopropane and halothane, and to a lesser extent desflurane, enflurane, ether, isoflurane, methoxyflurane, and sevoflurane) can develop cardiac arrhythmias if they are given adrenaline (epinephrine) or noradrenaline (norepinephrine), unless the dosages are very low. Children appear to be less susceptible to this interaction. file addition of adrenaline to intrathecal tetracaine enhances the sedative effects of propofol.
