Study Stopped
The analysis of the blood samples was much expensive than calculated. The recruitment had to be stopped after 36 study participants.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of xenon-inhalation on erythropoetin-level in blood of healthy volunteers and to determine the efficient time of inhalation. Hypothesis: Xenon-inhalation enhances erythropoetin-levels in blood

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change from baseline in erythropoetin-level in blood of healthy volunteers up to 216 hrs after the first of three xenon applications in total
Change from baseline in erythropoetin-level in blood of healthy volunteers up to 216 hrs after the first of three xenon applications in total. Timepoints of measurement: Before each inhalation, Directly after the first inhalation, 2 hrs after the first inhalation, 4 hrs after the first inhalation, 8 hrs after the first inhalation, 22-24 hrs after each inhalation, 46-48 hrs after each inhalation, 70-72 hrs after the last inhalation, 94-96 hrs after the last inhalation, 118-120 hrs after the last inhalation
up to 216 hrs after first xenon-application
Secondary Outcomes (1)
First-order elimination of xenon after xenon-inhalation in blood and exhalation air by mass-spectroscopy
up to 216 hrs after the first xenon-application
Other Outcomes (3)
Determination of hemodynamic parameters (HF, RR, EKG, SpO2, rSO2, tSO2)
up to 216 hrs after the first xenon-application
Laboratory parameters: Inflammation (procalcitonin, IL-6, IL-10, leukocytes, thrombocytes), growth factors (HIF1α, FGFs, HGF, MGFs, PDGF, VEGF, IL-8, VEGF, MIF, SDF-1a)
up to 216 hrs after the first xenon-application
Oxidative stress: total oxidative capacity, peroxide activity, LDL antibodies: antibody against oxided LDL, e.g. MDA-LDL IgM, oLAb (IgG)
up to 216 hrs after the first xenon-application
