Severe hepatic dysfunction after sevoflurane exposure.
نویسنده
چکیده
Sevoflurane is thought to have a potential for hepatotoxicity. A few cases of hepatotoxicity have been reported since it was introduced in 1990 into clinical practice in Japan. The underlying pathophysiology of hepatotoxicity is nonspecific. We report a case of severe hepatic dysfunction after uneventful sevoflurane anesthesia in a child with posterior fossa resection of medulloblastoma. The case of sevoflurane being incriminated is unclear due to various confounding factors that is worthy of discussion.

Reproducible hepatic dysfunction following separate anesthesia with sevoflurane and desflurane.
Both desflurane and sevoflurane have individually been reported to induce hepatic dysfunction; however hepatic dysfunction after administration of both of them separately in a single patient has not previously been reported. As their metabolites differ in nature, we considered that it would be unlikely that their combined use would cause sensitization and induce hepatic dysfunction. We report o...
متن کاملApocynin preserves glutamatergic neurons in the basolateral amygdala in mice with neonatal sevoflurane exposure
BACKGROUND Neonatal exposure to anesthetics induces neuronal apoptosis and long-term cognitive dysfunction in rodents. We showed that the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase inhibitor apocynin not only reduces neurotoxicity by decreasing superoxide levels and preventing mitochondrial dysfunction but also improves long-term memory impairment in neonatal mice exposed to sevofluran...
متن کاملComparison of hepatic and renal function between inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil for thyroidectomy
BACKGROUND Inhalation anesthetics are an important factor for postoperative hepatic and renal dysfunction. In this regard, TIVA can reduce the risk of hepatic and renal dysfunction inherited to inhalation anesthetics. The present study was conducted to determine whether hepatic and renal functions differ after anesthesia with sevoflurane and propofol. METHODS Two hundred patients, ASA physica...
متن کاملComparison between low flow sevoflurane anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia during intermediate-duration surgery: effects on renal and hepatic toxicity.
BACKGROUND Renal and hepatic dysfunction or injury might be involved by ether based anesthetic and intravenous anesthetic drug or surgical stress. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of moderate duration low-flow sevoflurane versus total intravenous anesthesia on renal and hepatic functions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty (80) patients between the ages of 25-70 scheduled for elect...

755 October 2013 T O the clinician, volatile anesthetics are the means by which we render patients insensitive to pain, still, and unaware/amnestic. To the molecular pharmacologist, they are the object of an ongoing search for mechanism(s) of action. To the laboratory investigator, they are a tool for rendering animals anesthetized in order to perform various experimental procedures. From a cli...
