Summary
It has been shown that the use of volatile anaesthetics, that are usually used to perform a
general anesthesia, have cardioprotective properties. This has been shown in animal studies
and in patients that underwent cardiac surgery. The aim of our study is to examine if
Sevoflurane, a volatile anaesthetic, has this properties in patients undergoing lung surgery.
