Effects of Sevoflurane in Subanesthetic Concentrations on the Forearm Perfusion, Leukocyte/Thrombocyte Activation, and Endothelial Function After Tourniquet-Induced Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in the Forearm of Volunteers
Effects of Sevoflurane in Subanesthetic Concentrations on the Forearm Perfusion, Leukocyte/Thrombocyte Activation, and Endothelial Function After Tourniquet-Induced Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in the Forearm of Volunteers
Sevoflurane preconditioning and cardiovascular protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Study hypothesis: The volatile anesthetic sevoflurane at subanesthetic concentrations achieves endothelial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury and reduces inflammatory markers in the circulation
Healthy volunteers are included in the study to investigate endothelial function and platelet activation after preconditioning by sevoflurane in subanesthetic concentrations.
Forearm perfusion, endothelial function and leukocyte/thrombocyte activation after tourniquet-induced ischemia/reperfusion injury of the forearm are measured using healthy volunteers in a cross-over design.
