The Effects of Intraoperative Esmolol Administration on Perioperative Inflammatory Responses in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastrectomy

Abstract

Serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels were increased over time, suggesting that laparoscopic surgery is a stressor, even though it causes minimal tissue injury. Treatment with esmolol decreased the inflammatory response and CRP production in a dose-dependent manner.
