Xenon or propofol anaesthesia for patients at cardiovascular risk in non-cardiac surgery (2008)
Hein, M., Hecker, K. E., Satlow, S., Neef, P., Rossaint, R.
Background The results of two European multi-centre trials on xenon anaesthesia led to the hypothesis that a xenon-based anaesthetic would keep left ventricular (LV) and circulatory function more...
Autonomic cardiac control with xenon anaesthesia in patients at cardiovascular risk (2007)
Hein, M., Hecker, K. E., Satlow, S., Schnoor, J., Rossaint, R.
Background The cardiovascular stability found with xenon anaesthesia may be caused by absence of circulatory depression. Xenon may also act directly on autonomic cardiovascular control. Methods In a...
Effects of xenon anaesthesia on the circulatory response to hypoventilation (2005)
Hecker, K. E., Hein, M., Reyle-Hahn, M., Horn, N. A., Rossaint, R.
Background. Circulatory response to hypoventilation is aimed at eliminating carbon dioxide and maintaining oxygen delivery (DO2) by increasing cardiac output (CO). The hypothesis that this increase...
Haemodynamic effects of haemorrhage during xenon anaesthesia in pigs (2005)
Hecker, K. E., Hein, M., Reyle-Hahn, S. M., Horn, N. A., Rossaint, R.
Background. It was hypothesized that xenon would stabilize mean arterial pressure (MAP) in haemorrhagic shock, recovery, and volume resuscitation, because a higher MAP has been observed with xenon,...

Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of xenon in intubated swine (2004)
Hecker, K. E., Horn, N., Baumert, J. H., Reyle-Hahn, S. M., Heussen, N., Rossaint, R.
Background. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is a traditional index of the hypnotic potency of an inhalational anaesthetic. To investigate the anaesthetic as well as the unwanted effects of...
