Influence of isoflurane and propofol on gastric slow wave patterns and pacing efficacy in pigs
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The influence of propofol and isoflurane on the spatial propagation of gastric slow wave activity under baseline and pacing conditions was defined for the first time. Slow waves were significantly ordered and coupled across the anterior and posterior surfaces of the stomach under propofol compared with isoflurane. Slow waves entrained during pacing were confined to the surface where pacing was applied, suggesting an electrical barrier along the greater curvature of the stomach.
