Anesthetics and adjuvants in early brain injury (EBI) after SAH in patients.

References	Anesthetic Agent/Adjuvants	Sample Size	Effects
[11]	Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, Desflurane, Propofol.	44	CSF caspase-3 levels ↓, serum caspase-3 levels ↑ at one hour after anesthetic exposure.
[20]	Propofol	60	Oxidative stress is reduced (gamma-tocopherol and SOD ↑, OH and 8-isoprostane ↓), Cognitive function is improved.

↑ = Activation/Increase/elevation, ↓ = Inhibition/blockade/decrease, SAH =subarachnoid hemorrhage, CSF = cerebrospinal fluid, OH = hydroxyl radical, SOD = superoxide dismutase.
