Abstract: Volatile anaesthetics are known as immunomodulatory substances in inflammatory as well as in ischemia/reperfusion processes [1,2]. We investigated in a model of acute pulmonary inflammation whether these immunomodulatory effects arise from the ether basic structure or from characteristics in their halogenation.
