Postoperative hepatic dysfunction is typically associated with factors such as blood transfusions, hypovolemic shock, and other surgical stresses rather than volatile anesthetic toxicity. However, a small subset of individuals who have been previously exposed to halothane may develop potentially life-threatening hepatitis. The incidence of severe hepatotoxicity following exposure to halothane is in the range of one in 20,000-35,000. Obese patients who have had more than one exposure to halothane during a short time interval may be the most susceptible. There is no specific treatment for halothane hepatitis, and therefore liver transplantation may ultimately be required in the most severe cases. [Pg.548]

Figure 140-4 shows the sites of action of these therapies within the energy intake, storage, and expenditure cycle. [Pg.2665]
