Purpose
Desflurane and its effect on postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
Halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane are volatile anesthetics, a group of general anesthetics. Because of the hypnotic effects of these agents, attention has mainly focused on the central nervous system. In the last 10 years, however, numerous studies have reported that volatile anesthetic agents interact with membrane structures of the myocardium and thereby attenuate cardiac mechanical dysfunction and limit ultrastructural abnormality on reperfusion after prolonged ischemia in the myocyte. Anesthetic-induced preconditioning has become a main topic in cardiac research worldwide

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Major complications as defined as ≥ grade IIIa according to classification of surgical complications from Dindo et al. after lung resection with one-lung ventilation during hospitalization [ Time Frame: postoperative phase until discharge; 6 month after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Major complications ≥ grade IIIa according to classification of surgical complications from Dindo et al. after dimissio up to 6 months after surgery [ Time Frame: postoperative phase until discharge, 6 month postoperative ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Perioperative inflammatory mediators TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, sICAM-1, MCP-1, MIP-2 in blood (correlation to complications ≥ grade IIIa according to classification of surgical complications from Dindo et al. during hospitalization) [ Time Frame: postoperative phase until discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
