Clinical Trial: Anesthetic Depth Effects Upon Immune Competent Cells

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Hypnotic Depth Reduces Lymphocyte Proliferation to Natural Killer Cells, B-cells, Memory T-cells, Depresses Intracellular Oxidative Burst and Changes Protein Expression Pattern of Monocytes

Brief Summary: Anesthesia depth affects the proliferation of lymphocytes to NK-cells and memory T-cells effect and the phagocytosis activity of macrophages in healthy patients. ASA 1-3 subjects undergoing extended shoulder surgery under continuous regional anesthesia randomly were assigned to a deep or a shallow anesthesia level (BIS <35 or >55) for more than an hour. Immune response is measured by lymphocyte proliferation as well as neutrophil and monocyte phagocytosis activity.
