Fig. 2. Cardiac troponin I concentrations in the different study groups before surgery (PO), at arrival in the intensive care unit (T0), and after 6 (T6), 12 (T12), 24 (T24), and 48 (T48) hours. Data are expressed as median with 25% and 75% percentiles. In all groups, troponin I values increased. This increase in troponin I concentrations was significantly lower with sevoflurane and desflurane at T6, T12, T24, and T48. * Statistically significant (  P < 0.05) difference with the baseline value (PO); # statistically significant difference (  P < 0.05) with the total intravenous anesthetic regimen.
