Surgical site infection after colorectal surgery according to the main anesthetic agent: a retrospective comparison between volatile anesthetics and propofol [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2016 BackgroundAnesthetic agents used for general anesthesia are emerging possible influential factors for surgical site infection (SSI). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the incidence of SSI after colorectal surgery according to the main anesthetic ...

The Use of Volatile Anesthetics as Sedatives for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. [PDF]
Transl Perioper Pain Med, 2019 Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains to pose a high morbidity and mortality without any targeted therapies. Sedation, usually given intravenously, is an important part of clinical practice in intensive care unit (ICU), and the effect of ...

Volatile anesthetics and ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2015 Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury can occur under various clinical conditions in which the restoration of blood and oxygen to ischemic tissues results in a massive release of oxygen free radicals. For example, cardiac surgery, stroke, tourniquet application for orthopedic surgery, organ transplantation, and restoration of shock can cause IR injury ...

Sodium channels as targets for volatile anesthetics [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 The molecular mechanisms of modern inhaled anesthetics although widely used in clinical settings are still poorly understood. Considerable evidence supports effects on membrane proteins such as ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels of excitable cells ...

Volatile anesthetics as a neuroprotective agent [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011 Pharmacologic protection of brain from ischemic insult has been intensively investigated since the early 1960s [1] and a considerable amount of work has been performed to show the effectiveness of various drugs. Among these studies, anesthetic agents, including intravenous and volatile drugs, were shown to be promising agents.

Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Volatile Anesthetics [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is induced as a result of reentry of the blood and oxygen to ischemic tissue. Antioxidant and some other drugs have protective effect on IRI. In many surgeries and clinical conditions IRI is counteract inevitable.

Development of a simple method for differential delivery of volatile anesthetics to the spinal cord of the rabbit. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Emulsified volatile anesthetic can be directly injected into the circulation and eliminated from blood through lungs. Taking advantage of the unique pharmacokinetics of the emulsified volatile anesthetics, we aimed to develop a less traumatic method to ...
