Comparative StudyXenon and the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass in the rat.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of xenon on the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Xenon appears to have no effect on the inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass, making its previously described neuroprotective effect during cardiopulmonary bypass likely independent of any inflammation modulation.
