Liver Function After Partial Liver Resection Clinical Trial
Official title:
Xenon-anesthesia on Patients Undergoing Major Liver-resection: Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative outcome of patients undergoing major liver resection under xenon- compared to desflurane-anesthesia.
The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative liver function and additional outcome parameters of patients undergoing major liver resection under xenon- compared to desflurane-anesthesia. Xenon is known to maintain hemodynamic stability and consecutive tissue perfusion. Together with its potential for ischemic pre-conditioning, we hypothesize a protective effect of xenon on post-operative liver failure and ischemia/reperfusion injury. ;
