Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to assess if xenon is superior in order to decrease the incidence of a post-resectional liver failure in contrast to desflurane;Secondary Objective: if xenon is superior regarding the outcomes (like mortality, length of hospital stay, postoperative adverse events, maximum liver function postoperative) compared to desflurane;Primary end point(s): postoperative liver injury and function after major liver resection until day 7;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 7 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Perioperative laboratory data Pathohistology of the resected liver tissue Asservation of remnants of the resected liver tissue for further laboratory analyzes Weight of resected liver tissue normalized to body weight (%BW) and planimetry with computer tomography Intraoperative and postoperative blood loss Optional LiMAx test POD 42 Quantity of infused crystalloids, colloids, units of transfused packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelet concentrates Postoperative adverse events Mortality Length of stay ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days
