  1. Effects of the factors “time” (time from the beginning of sevoflurane preconditioning, ischemic preconditioning, clamping for surgery or psotoperative reperfusion) and “side” (side of surgery versus opposite side) on lower limb tissue oxygen saturation during sevoflurane preconditioning, ischemic preconditioning, clamping for surgery and postoperative reperfusion (ANOVA with repeated measurements with side as inter subject factor). Tissue oxygenation was measured with near-infrared spectroscopy in the anterior tibial muscle. Significant effects are marked with asterisks (*).
