Abstract:Inhalation anesthesia stands as a pivotal modality within clinical anesthesia practices. Beyond its primary anesthetic effects, inhaled anesthetics have non-anesthetic effects, exerting bidirectional influences on the physiological state of the body and disease progression. These effects encompass impaired cognitive function, inhibition of embryonic development, influence on tumor progression, and so forth. For many years, inhaled anesthetics were viewed as inhibitors of stem cell fate regulation. However, the… Show more
