Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Effect of Ketamine on Interleukin 6 (IL-6) Synthesis in Hepatic Resections Requiring Temporary Porto-arterial Occlusion (Pringle Maneuver)

    As an outcome, Interleukin 6 (IL-6) was measured in plasma concentration of hepatic resections requiring temporary porto-arterial occlusion patients.

    Plasma concentration of IL-6 levels were obtained prior to surgery, upon placement of the first intravenous
