Acute Hepatic Failure after Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Pediatric Patient: A case report / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

Postoperative hepatotoxicity may develop from many causes. One of them is direct injury to the liver cell due to anesthetic agents. Each agent has different hepatotoxic risk. Sevoflurane is known to have a very low potential for hepatotoxicity. We report a case of severe hepatic dysfunction after anesthesia with sevoflurane in a pediatric patient who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
