Volatile Anesthetic Preconditioning Modulates Oxidative Stress and Nitric Oxide in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Volatile anesthetics, isoflurane and sevoflurane modulate oxidative and nitrosative stress during CABG. Between the two pre-conditioning agents, isoflurane seems to provide better protection during the pre-bypass period, while sevoflurane provides protection during both pre- as well as post-bypass period.
