“Low concentrations of ADP and epinephrine , which did not induce secondary aggregation in a control study, induced strong secondary aggregation in the presence of thiopental (> or = 100 microM).”
“ Thiopental (> or = 100 microM) also increased the TXB2 formation induced by ADP and epinephrine.”

“Plasma concentrations of adrenaline increased significantly compared with concentrations before induction, 1 min after intubation in both groups and at 2 min in the thiopentone group only.”
“Plasma concentrations of adrenaline were significantly greater in the thiopentone group than in the propofol group at both 1 and 2 min after intubation.”
“Following thiopental, EPI doses for AVD, V Ect, V Bigem, and V Tach were reduced, as well as EPI dose differences for At Ect, AVD, V Ect, and V Bigem.”
“ Thiopental reduces the EPI dose needed for AVD and ventricular, but not atrial, arrhythmias.”
“Challenge injections of epinephrine (5 microgram/kg of body weight) to ten sheep anesthetized with thiopental , and to the same number of animals after 45 minutes of anesthesia with thiopental/halothane, produced serious arrhythmias.”
