Inhalation Anaesthesia

Molecular mechanisms of anaesthesia and cerebral cell signal transduction during anaesthesia with special regard to halogenated anaesthetics; consciousness, loss of consciousness and volatile anaesthetics; desflurane; sevoflurane; toxicity of inhalational anaesthesia - long-term exposure of anaesthetic personnel, environmental pollution; new aspects of cardiac electrophysiology and function - effects of inhalational anaesthetics; organ blood flow and microcirculation during inhalation/anaesthetics; airway calibre and bronchomotor tone; pulmonary circulation during inhalation anaesthesia; effects of inhalation anaesthetics in the liver; cerebral effects of inhalational anaesthetics; volatile anaesthetics in patients with coronary artery disease.
