    AbstractPropofol decreases contractility of the diaphragm, but no data are available for its effects on recovery. We studied the recovery profile of reduced diaphragmatic contractility induced by propofol in dogs. Animals were divided into 4 groups of 7 each. Group I, without fatigue, received only maintenance fluid; Group II, without fatigue, was infused with propofol; Group III, with fatigue, received no study drug; Group IV, with fatigue, was infused propofol. Propofol at an anesthetic dose (0.1 mg/kg initial dose plus 6.0 mg x kg(-1) x h(-1)) was administered for 60 min. In Groups III and IV, diaphragmatic fatigue was induced by intermittent supramaximal bilateral electrophrenic stimulation at 20-Hz for 30 min. We assessed diaphragmatic contractility by transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi). In group II, Pdi at low-frequency (20-Hz) stimulation decreased to less than baseline (P < 0.05), whereas there was no change in Pdi at high-frequency (100-Hz) stimulation. At 10 min after the end of propofol administration, Pdi at 20-Hz stimulation returned to baseline. When fatigue was established, in Groups III and IV, Pdi at 20-Hz stimulation decreased to less than baseline (P < 0.05), whereas Pdi at 100-Hz stimulation did not change. After administering propofol in Group IV, Pdi at 20-Hz stimulation decreased from fatigued values (P < 0.05). At 20 min after the end of propofol administration, Pdi at 20-Hz stimulation returned to fatigued values. We conclude that reduced contractility in nonfatigued and fatigued canine diaphragm induced by propofol recovers within 20 min after the cessation of administration.
