Blood endotoxin concentration. Effect of continuous sedation with propofol, isoflurane, sevoflurane or desflurane on blood endotoxin levels in septic (CLP) and sham-operated rats. Animals were under continuous sedation and mechanical ventilation for 24 hours (A) or 12 hours (B). Values represent mean ± standard deviation. *P <0.05 versus isoflurane-sham (A) or isoflurane + CLP (B), respectively. CLP, cecal ligation and puncture.
