Our aim was to evaluate lung injury due to oxidative stress and antioxidant activity levels in an infrarenal ischemia–reperfusion model and to compare prevention effects of single and combined use of propofol and remifentanil. In this study, a total of 40 adult Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into five groups of eight rats as SHAM, physiological saline, intraperitoneal propofol, remifentanil, and propofol and remifentanil groups. Blood and tissue samples were obtained after 80 min of reperfusion. The malondialdehyde (MDA) level, a measure of lipid peroxidation, was measured in lung tissue samples and red blood cells; additionally, total oxidant status and total antioxidant capacity of lung tissues were measured and histopathological examination was performed. Distant organ (lung) injury developed due to lower extremity ischemia–reperfusion was created by infrarenal aortic clamping. The lipid peroxidation product MDA and total oxidant levels were increased, but there was insufficient antioxidant protection both in the lung tissues and red blood cells. While propofol prevented this injury consistent with its proposed antioxidant properties; no protective effect of remifentanil was observed. On the contrary, it showed oxidative stress increasing effect. This study concluded that the antioxidant effect of propofol was suppressed by remifentanil in the case of combined use.
