Influence of a brief episode of anesthesia during the induction of experimental brain trauma on secondary brain damage and inflammation.

It is unclear whether a single, brief, 15-minute episode of background anesthesia already modulates delayed secondary processes after experimental brain injury. Therefore, this study was designed to characterize three anesthesia protocols for their effect on molecular and histological study endpoint...
