Background This study evaluated whether desflurane improved lung collapse during one-lung ventilation (OLV) more than propofol, and whether it could reduce the operation time of video-assisted thoracic surgery. Methods Sixty patients undergoing lobectomy

Inhalational or total intravenous anaesthesia: is total intravenous anaesthesia useful and are there economic benefits? [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The comparison of inhalational and intravenous anaesthesia has been the subject of many controlled trials and meta-analyses. These reported diverse endpoints typically including measures of the speed and quality of induction of ...

Desflurane protects against liver ischemia/reperfusion injury via regulating miR-135b-5p.
BACKGROUND A number of anesthetics have protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, including desflurane. But the function and molecular mechanism of desflurane in liver I/R injury have not been fully understood. The aim of this sudy was

Background: Neurocognitive investigations suggest that conscious sensory perception depends on recurrent neuronal interactions among sensory, parietal, and frontal cortical regions, which are suppressed by general anesthetics.

The effect of desflurane on neuronal communication at a central synapse [PDF]
Although general anesthetics are thought to modify critical neuronal functions, their impact on neuronal communication has been poorly examined. We have investigated the effect induced by desflurane, a clinically used general anesthetic, on information ...

Smokers and haemodynamic responses to desflurane [PDF]
Changes in basic haemodynamic variables following a sudden increase in the concentration of inspired desflurane administered during anaesthesia were compared in 30 female smokers and 30 nonsmokers. Smokers had significantly greater percentage increases in heart rate (p = 0.02), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.005 and = 0.01 ...
