Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Sevoflurane preconditioning and cardiovascular protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Study hypothesis: The volatile anesthetic sevoflurane at subanesthetic concentrations achieves endothelial protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury and reduces inflammatory markers in the circulation

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Healthy volunteers are included in the study to investigate endothelial function and platelet activation after preconditioning by sevoflurane in subanesthetic concentrations.

Forearm perfusion, endothelial function and leukocyte/thrombocyte activation after tourniquet-induced ischemia/reperfusion injury of the forearm are measured using healthy volunteers in a cross-over design.
