Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative outcome of patients undergoing major liver resection under xenon- compared to desflurane-anesthesia.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative liver function and additional outcome parameters of patients undergoing major liver resection under xenon- compared to desflurane-anesthesia. Xenon is known to maintain hemodynamic stability and consecutive tissue perfusion. Together with its potential for ischemic pre-conditioning, we hypothesize a protective effect of xenon on post-operative liver failure and ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Single-center, controlled, double-blinded, randomized, two-arm parallel, interventional clinical trial
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
This trial will be performed double-blinded. After randomization neither the patients nor the investigator of the baseline assessment and the postoperative assessment will be aware of the treatment allocation. The intraoperative anesthesiologist will not be blinded, due to feasibility and safety reasons.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Xenon

Xenon concentration of 50-60 % will be used for maintenance of general anesthesia and will be adjusted to maintain Bispectral index (BIS) value between 40 and 60.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Xenon

Intervention Type DRUG

inhalation to maintain anesthesia

Desflurane

Desflurane concentrations of 4-5%/0.8 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) respectively will be used for maintenance of general anesthesia and will be adjusted to maintain BIS index value between 40 and 60.
