Effect of VIMA with sevoflurane versus TIVA with propofol or midazolam-sufentanil on the cytokine response during CABG surgery

Effect of 2 anesthetic techniques on the postoperative proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine response and cellular immune function to minor surgery

“…The present study confirms data published by El Azab et al [12], who attributed similar findings to the effect of opioid on specific opioid receptors on monocyte cell surface [13].…”

Pulmonary complications of cardiopulmonary bypass

“…Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) versus balanced anesthesia has been studied by a variety of authors and has not been found to significantly reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu. [105,106] While the myocardium may be a source of proinflammatory cytokines during surgery with CPB, the lungs are often the consumers of those cytokines. [107,108] Some studies have demonstrated benefit in reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as reduction in the pulmonary sequestration of cytokines with use of volatile anesthetic agents such as sevoflurane.…”

Xenon Anesthesia Reduces TNFα and IL10 in Bariatric Patients

“…Many studies in vitro and in vivo emphasize the immunomodulatory abilities that endovenous or inhalational anesthetics can achieve [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The cell response to surgery comprises various aspects: duration, type and invasiveness of surgery [16], anesthesia techniques, pharmacologic treatments, and appropriate management of pain and anxiety [17].…”
