Abstract BACKGROUND: Due to their chemical nature as fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds, volatile anesthetics are highly potent greenhouse gases, with desflurane having by far the largest CO2-equivalent (CO2e) footprint. In everyday..

Volatile anaesthetics and PFAS forever chemicals: A critical gap in environmental impact assessments
Abstract The environmental impact of volatile anaesthetics has traditionally been evaluated primarily in terms of their greenhouse gas contributions. This review broadens the discourse by exploring the ecological ramifications of..

Abstract Volatile anesthetics have been shown in different studies to reduce ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) facilitates graft evaluation, extends preservation time and potentially enables injury..

Abstract Several pieces of evidence suggest that volatile anesthetics (VAs), which were originally used as sedatives, have myocardial protective effects against cardiac ischemia–reperfusion injury. In Europe and the United States,..
