Summary
Anesthetic management may affect both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive mechanisms
directly by modulating immune cell function or indirectly by attenuating the stress response,
Thus, the choice of anesthetic technique may affect clinical outcomes by perturbing the
balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses,anesthetics favoring this delicate
balance are thus desirable as their use may reduce postoperative complications and mortality
