Pharmacological interventions may play a prominent role in reducing organ damage in response to physiologic stress. A growing body of evidence indicates that volatile anesthetics exert protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. Administration of volatile anesthetics before prolonged coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion has been shown to produce cardioprotection, a phenomenon termed anesthetic-induced preconditioning. Endogenous signal transduction proteins, reactive oxygen species, mitochondria, and ion channels have been implicated in anesthetic-induced preconditioning, and new data regarding the triggering and effector roles for these various components have been discovered that advance our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for anesthetic-induced preconditioning. This review will update and integrate these recent data into the current mechanistic model of anesthetic-induced preconditioning.
