Mechanistic consideration of the effect of perioperative volatile anesthetics on phagocytes
Abstract
A growing literature has shown that volatile anesthetics are promiscuous molecules targeting multiple molecules, some of which are critical for immunological functions. We focused on studies that delineated target molecules of volatile anesthetics on immune cells and summarized the effects of volatile anesthetics on immune functions. We also presented the perspectives of studying volatile anesthetics-mediated immunomodulation.
