The Comparison of the Effects of Sevoflurane Inhalation Anesthesia and Intravenous Propofol Anesthesia on Oxidative Stress in One Lung Ventilation

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on one lung ventilation (OLV) induced ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by determining the blood gas, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and malonyldialdehyde (MDA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-four patients undergoing thoracic surgery with OLV were randomized in two groups (sevoflurane Group S, propofol Group P). Anesthesia was inducted with thiopental and was maintained with 1-2.5% of sevoflurane within the 40/60% of O2/N2O mixture in Group S. In Group P anesthesia was inducted with propofol and was maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Hemodynamic records and blood samples were obtained before anesthesia induction (t 1), 1 min before two lung ventilation (t 2), 30 min after two lung ventilation (t 3), and postoperative sixth hours (t 4). RESULTS: Heart rate at t 2 and t 3 in Group P was significantly lower than that in Group S. While there were no significant differences in terms of pH and pCO2, pO2 at t 2 and t 3 in Group S was significantly lower than that in Group P. IMA levels at t 4 in Group S were significantly lower than those in Group P. CONCLUSION: Sevoflurane may offer protection against IRI after OLV in thoracic surgery.
