amitriptyline and Anesthesia

amitriptyline has been researched along with Anesthesia in 12 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Anesthesia: A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"As a result of amitriptyline's vast array of actions, it could potentially be used as an intraspinal adjuvant in neuraxial anesthesia and/or in the treatment of refractory neuropathic pain."3.75The neuraxial effects of intraspinal amitriptyline at low concentrations. ( Barros, GA; Fukushima, FB; Ganem, EM; Marques, ME; Vidal, EI, 2009)
"Adenosine antagonists were found to be effective in improving hypotension, QRS prolongation and survival time in our rat model of amitriptyline toxicity."3.72Do adenosine receptors play a role in amitriptyline-induced cardiovascular toxicity in rats? ( Akgun, A; Aygoren, O; Gidener, S; Guven, H; Kalkan, S; Tuncok, Y, 2004)
" In anaesthetized dogs (n = 5), dose-response curves were obtained by intravenous infusion of increasing doses of dopexamine (5-20 micrograms kg-1 min-1)."1.29Cardiovascular actions of dopexamine in anaesthetized and conscious dogs. ( Abdul-Hussein, N; Chang, DH; Einstein, R; Matthews, R; Richardson, DP; Wong, TW, 1994)
"Amitriptyline was infused at 0."1.27Protective actions of carbocromene against amitriptyline-induced cardiotoxicity in anesthetized rats. ( Fiedler, VB; Martorana, PA; Nitz, RE, 1986)
" It is concluded that all four drugs show the toxic effects classically associated with tricyclic antidepressants but the relative toxicity amongst these agents varies considerably and is in the order amitriptyline greater than imipramine greater than maprotiline greater than mianserin."1.26The relative toxicity of amitriptyline, imipramine, maprotiline and mianserin in rabbits in vivo. ( Hughes, IE; Radwan, S, 1979)
