Study Completion Date: October 2009
Primary Completion Date: October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
group1
continuous volatile anesthesia (sevoflurane) during the liver resection
group2
continuous intravenous anesthesia (propofol) during the liver resection
group3
preconditioning volatile anesthesia (sevoflurane) 30 minutes before ischemia (inflow occlusion)
