Résumé

Anaesthetic induction occurs at higher plasma drug concentrations than emergence in animal studies. Some studies find evidence for such anaesthetic hysteresis in humans, whereas others do not. Traditional thinking attributes hysteresis to drug equilibration between plasma and the effect site. Indeed, a key difference between human studies showing anaesthetic hysteresis and those that do not is in how effect-site equilibration was modelled. However, the effect-site is a theoretical compartment in which drug concentration cannot be measured experimentally. Thus, it is not clear whether drug equilibration models with experimentally intractable compartments are sufficiently constrained to unequivocally establish evidence for the presence or absence of anaesthetic hysteresis. We constructed several models. One lacked hysteresis beyond effect-site equilibration. In another, neuronal dynamics contributed to hysteresis. We attempted to distinguish between these two systems using drug equilibration models. Our modelling studies showed that one can always construct an effect-site equilibration model such that hysteresis collapses. So long as the concentration in the effect-site cannot be measured directly, the correct effect-site equilibration model and the one that erroneously collapses hysteresis are experimentally indistinguishable. We also found that hysteresis can naturally arise even in a simple network of neurones independently of drug equilibration. Effect-site equilibration models can readily collapse hysteresis. However, this does not imply that hysteresis is solely attributable to the kinetics of drug equilibration.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Anaesthetic induction occurs at higher plasma drug concentrations than emergence in animal studies. Some studies find evidence for such anaesthetic hysteresis in humans, whereas others do not. Traditional thinking attributes hysteresis to drug equilibration between plasma and the effect site. Indeed, a key difference between human studies showing anaesthetic hysteresis and those that do not is in how effect-site equilibration was modelled. However, the effect-site is a theoretical compartment in which drug concentration cannot be measured experimentally. Thus, it is not clear whether drug equilibration models with experimentally intractable compartments are sufficiently constrained to unequivocally establish evidence for the presence or absence of anaesthetic hysteresis.
METHODS METHODS
We constructed several models. One lacked hysteresis beyond effect-site equilibration. In another, neuronal dynamics contributed to hysteresis. We attempted to distinguish between these two systems using drug equilibration models.
RESULTS RESULTS
Our modelling studies showed that one can always construct an effect-site equilibration model such that hysteresis collapses. So long as the concentration in the effect-site cannot be measured directly, the correct effect-site equilibration model and the one that erroneously collapses hysteresis are experimentally indistinguishable. We also found that hysteresis can naturally arise even in a simple network of neurones independently of drug equilibration.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Effect-site equilibration models can readily collapse hysteresis. However, this does not imply that hysteresis is solely attributable to the kinetics of drug equilibration.
