Neuroprotection could be the aim to use Xenon for general anesthesia. However the experience of Xenon anesthesia in neurosurgery is quite limited. The appraisal of Xenon based anesthesia was accomplished in 12 patients during various brain surgery. Xe in concentration 65% was used to maintenance of anesthesia, other medication was avoided. As a resuIt there were 8 cases of arterial hypertension and 2 cases of superficial hypnotic state. Excitation (n = 3), hyperdynamic reaction (n = 8), PONV (n = 8) were detected in early postoperative period. An analysis of this study suggests a conclusion that studied method of Xenon-based anesthesia is inexpedient for neurosurgery.
