  • Title: [Effects of xenon anesthesia on cerebral blood flow in neurosurgical patients without intracranial hypertension].
    Author: Rylova AV, Beliaev AIu, Lubnin AIu.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 2013; (4):4-9. PubMed ID: 24341034.
    Abstract:
    Among anesthetic agents used in neurosurgery xenon appears to be the most advantageous. It preserves arterial blood pressure, assures rapid recovery and neuroprotection. But the data is lacking on xenon effect upon cerebral blood flow under anesthetic conditions. We measured flow velocity in middle cerebral artery in neurosurgical patients without intracranial hypertension during closed circuit xenon anesthesia comparing propofol and xenon effect in the same patients. In our study xenon didn't seem to induce clinically relevant changes in cerebral blood flow and preserved cerebral vascular reactivity thus proving its safety in patients without intracranial hypertension.
