Inhalation anesthetics cross the placenta. Risk-benefit must be considered because studies (by retrospective survey) of operating room personnel chronically exposed to low concentrations of inhalation anesthetics indicate that pregnancies in female personnel and wives of male personnel may be subject to an increased incidence of spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and possibly birth defects . However, the methods used in obtaining and interpreting the data in these studies have been questioned. /Inhalation anesthetics/

Because of potential nephrotoxicity, administration of methoxyflurane in concentrations sufficient to produce muscle relaxation is not recommended ; a neuromuscular blocking agent should be used concurrently if necessary. Also, it is recommended that methoxyflurane not be used during vascular surgery at or near renal blood vessels.

For use in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia
Treatment of acute pain
Methoxyflurane is a general inhalation anesthetic used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. It induces muscle relaxation and reduces pains sensitivity by altering tissue excitability. It does so by decreasing the extent of gap junction mediated cell-cell coupling and altering the activity of the channels that underlie the action potential.
Anesthetics, Inhalation
Gases or volatile liquids that vary in the rate at which they induce anesthesia; potency; the degree of circulation, respiratory, or neuromuscular depression they produce; and analgesic effects. Inhalation anesthetics have advantages over intravenous agents in that the depth of anesthesia can be changed rapidly by altering the inhaled concentration. Because of their rapid elimination, any postoperative respiratory depression is of relatively short duration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p173) (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics, Inhalation.)

The urinary fluoride ion concentration was compared in 2 series of parturients, the one receiving methoxyflurane-nitrous oxide analgesia during labor and the other nitrous oxide analgesia. Results showed that in the methoxyflurane-nitrous oxide analgesia series, both the mothers and the neonates showed a significantly higher urinary fluoride ion concentration in comparison to the nitrous analgesia series. The urinary fluoride concentration was related to the vaporized amount of methoxyflurane.

Methoxyflurane induces a reduction in junctional conductance by decreasing gap junction channel opening times and increasing gap junction channel closing times. Methoxyflurane also activates calcium dependent ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum by increasing the fluidity of the lipid membrane. It also appears to bind the D subunit of ATP synthase and NADH dehydogenase. Methoxyflurane also binds to the GABA receptor, the large conductance Ca2+ activated potassium channel, the glutamate receptor and the glycine receptor.
Some halogenated agents, especially methoxyflurane, because of a higher level of fluoride production, induce a renal concentrating defect that could be related to an ascending limb impairment. The mechanisms of fluoride toxicity on an immortalized cell line /was investigated/. Cells were cultured for 2, 6 or 24 hr in the presence of fluoride. Toxicity evaluation was based on: cell numbers, protein content, leucine-incorporation, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) releases, Na-K-ATPase and Na-K-2Cl activities, electron microscope studies. ... At 5 mmol after 24 hr, fluoride decreased cell numbers (-14%, *P < 0.05), protein content (-16%*), leucine incorporation (-54%*), Na-K-2Cl activity (-84%*), increased LDH (+145%*) and NAG release (+190%*). Na-K-ATPase was more sensitive and impaired from 1 mmol for 24hr and after 2 hr at 5 mmol. Crystal formation in mitochondria occurred after 6 hr at 5 mmol. Infra-red analysis and fluoride microdetermination established that crystals contained sodium, phosphate and fluoride. The results suggest that the Na-K-ATPase pump is a major target for fluoride toxicity in Henle's loop.

The precise mechanism by which inhalation anesthetics produce loss of perception of sensations and unconsciousness is not known. Inhaled anesthetics act at many areas in the CNS. The Meyer-Overton theory suggests that the site of action of inhalation anesthetics may be the lipid matrix of neuronal membranes or other lipophilic sites. Anesthetics may cause changes in membrane thickness, which in turn affect the gating properties of ion channels in neurons. Interference with the hydrophobic portion of neuronal ion channel membrane proteins may be an important mechanism. /Inhalation anesthetics/
