ABSTRACT

Xenon is a gas that is present at very low concentrations in the earth atmosphere. It has anesthetic and analgesic properties, especially neuroprotection and hemodynamic stability. It has been demonstrated by a good number of clinical studies that xenon is very efficient and secure in diverse anesthetic/surgical procedures. However, and due to its high production cost, its use is limited in daily medical practice. The objective of this work is to review the current concepts about this interesting anesthetic gas.
