Ventilatory effects of laparoscopy under general anaesthesia.

abstract：:To assess the effect of sevoflurane anaesthesia on hepatocellular integrity, we measured plasma concentrations of glutathione S-transferase (GST) before anaesthesia and 1, 3, 6 and 24 h after the end of anaesthesia in 41 healthy, Japanese patients undergoing elective, body surface surgery. Sevoflurane (approximately 1...
