Abstract:In our study, xenon monoanaesthesia and combinations of xenon with isoflurane and sevoflurane did not lead to pathologic alterations in the measured coagulation parameters.
“…In addition to a lack of neurotoxic profile [30], prolonged xenon exposure in the critical care setting was not associated with any deterioration in haematological and biochemical variables [3]. These data are consistent with previous reports suggesting that xenon exerts no effect on coagulation [51] or platelet function in vitro [52], nor any effect on the immune system [53]. Xenon does not impair hepatic or renal function [3,54].…”

“…The specific inhibition of the NMDA receptor may explain the attractive pharmacological properties of Xe in the context of anesthesia (2–5). Furthermore, in a recent study, Wilhelm et al observed in an in vivo brain injury model in rats and in vitro a neuroprotective effect of Xe (7).…”

“…X enon (Xe) is a specific antagonist of the NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate)‐type glutamate receptor (1) and has been shown to be a very effective and safe anesthetic agent in numerous studies (2–5). Recent investigations were able to demonstrate that Xe is unique amongst anesthetics with known NMDA receptor antagonist action because Xe exhibits neuroprotective properties without coexisting neurotoxicity (6).…”
The data demonstrate that Xe dissolved in Lipofundin MCT(R) 20% inhibits NMDA-receptors. Lipid emulsions enriched with Xe may serve as a carrier and a reservoir for Xe.
“…19,20 Estes resultados também são consistentes com estudos prévios que não identificaram in vitro interferência na coagulação 63 ou na função plaquetária. 64 Também dados de estudos experimentais in vitro, sugerem que o xénon não perturba o sistema imunitário humano, preservando a capacidade anti--bacteriana dos neutrófilos e monócitos e a capacidade de produção de citocinas inflamatórias dos monócitos.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
