[Stress, hemodynamic and immunological responses to inhaled and intravenous anesthetic techniques for video-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Objective: Given the immunomodulatory effects of anesthesia and surgery, 2 anesthetic regimens in clinical use were compared to evaluate hemodynamic, stress, and immunologic response in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Patients And Methods: Randomized controlled trial in patients classified ASA I and scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were randomly assigned to the inhaled anesthetic group (13 anesthetized with propofol-fentanyl-isoflurane) or the total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) group (14 patients anesthetized with propofol-remifentanil).
