About

Halogenated anaesthetic agents (HAA) may induce protective processes by pre-conditioning the myocardium. All of the literature shows that HAA induce pre-conditioning, thanks to a class effect, and Sevoflurane is the most widely used today.

In humans, the protective effects of halogenated agents have principally been studied in heart surgery and have shown encouraging clinical results. It seems that HAA induce both pre-conditioning of the myocardium (early and late) and post conditioning.

Given these protective effects of HAA, in 2007, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended the use of HAA for anaesthesia maintenance in non-cardiac surgery in patients with a high cardio-vascular risk. The aim of this study is to show a decrease in rhabdomyolysis and tissue distress (kidneys, myocardium and liver), thanks to Sevoflurane anaesthesia, in the post-operative period following vascular surgery with clamping
