Measure
Sevoflurane
Volatile anesthetic used to induce and maintain general anaeshesia. To induce anaesthesia the inspired concentration recommended is 8% in oxyfen to maintain anaesthesia the inspired concentration is 1-2%. The drug is administered continuously during surgery using a specially designed vaporizer. The depth of anesthesia obtained during sevoflurane administration is monitored by the end expired concentration of sevoflurane and by the bispectral index monitoring. The effect of sevoflurane on the liver for the predetermined clinically applicable concentrations was evaluated.
Propofol
Intravenous anesthetic suitable for induction and maintainance of general anesthesia. Anaesthesia is induced by administereing intravenously 2-2.5 mg/kg body weight and maintained by continuous intravenous infusion of 6 mg/kg/hour of propofol by means of an electric infusion pump. The depth of anesthesia during propofol anesthesia is monitored by the bispectral index monitoring. The effect of propofol on the liver for the predetermined clinically applicable concentrations was evaluated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: preoperatively, end of surgery, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

Population: For an effect size of 0.20 assuming a two-sided error type I error of 0.05 and a power of 0.80, a sample size of 60 sixty patients (30 patients in each group) would be required.

Blood samples for determination of the markers M30 and M65 as well as the serum transaminases were collected preoperatively, at the end of surgery, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively.
