halothane deserpidine

Applies to: halothane and deserpidine

MONITOR: Rauwolfia alkaloids may accentuate the hypotensive effects of general anesthetics by depleting catecholamine neurotransmitters. Data are conflicting and are available for rauwolfia and reserpine only.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be closely monitored. If profound hypotension occurs, a direct-acting sympathomimetic agent, such as dobutamine or epinephrine, may be required.
