Anesthesia can suppress immune function, increasing risks of infection and tumor growth. This review examines how anesthesia impacts immunity and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Anesthesia's direct effects on immune competence are not fully understood.
  • Clinical evidence suggests anesthesia can reduce immune function, linked to increased infection and tumor growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on anesthesia's role in immune system modulation (suppression or activation).
  • To discuss the clinical implications of anesthesia-induced immune changes for patient care and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating anesthesia and immune response.
  • Analysis of clinical markers associated with anesthesia and immune function.

Main Results:

  • Evidence indicates certain anesthetics and procedures contribute to reduced immune function.

  • Anesthesia can lead to both suppression and activation of the immune system.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anesthesia significantly impacts immunological competence.
    • Understanding these effects is crucial for improving patient care and outcomes in surgical settings.
