Cardioprotection by Sevoflurane Preconditioning in Noncardiac Thoracic Surgery
- Conditions
- High Sensitive Troponin T Release
- Interventions
- Drug: TIVA
- Registration Number
- NCT02217319
- Lead Sponsor
- Dr. Horst Schmidt Klinik GmbH
- Brief Summary
It has been shown that the use of volatile anaesthetics, that are usually used to perform a general anesthesia, have cardioprotective properties. This has been shown in animal studies and in patients that underwent cardiac surgery. The aim of our study is to examine if Sevoflurane, a volatile anaesthetic, has this properties in patients undergoing lung surgery.
