Brief summary

Our aim is to investigate the effect of minimal flow anesthesia with sevoflurane on hemodynamics and arterial blood gas parameters in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations.

Detailed description

Introduction: Low-flow anesthesia techniques have regained popularity in recent years with the development of low solubility volatile agents such as sevoflurane and desflurane, and modern anesthesia devices. Reducing the flow of fresh gas as much as possible will reduce the amount of volatile agent used, thus preventing air pollution, providing lower costs, and also preserving heat and moisture in the respiratory tract by using rebreathing systems. Laparoscopic surgery is superior to open surgical techniques due to its minimally invasive nature, less postoperative pain, less incidence of wound infections, shortening the hospitalization, and allowing patients to return to their normal lives sooner after the operation. Our aim is to investigate the effect of minimal flow anesthesia with sevoflurane on hemodynamics and arterial blood gas parameters in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations. Material and Method: Seventy patients with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) class I-II between the ages of 18-65 undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. After the patients were randomly selected by computer, they were divided into two equal groups as Group M (minimal flow anesthesia group) with fresh gas flow 0,5 L.min-1 and Group C (high flow anesthesia/ control group) with fresh gas flow 4 L.min-1. In both groups. Demographic data, duration of anesthesia, operation times, recovery times, hemodynamic parameters and arterial blood gas parameters of all patients were recorded. The patient data collected in both groups were compared statistically.

Interventions

The sevoflurane dose differed in both groups in relation to the fresh gas flow. Since the fresh gas flow is less in group M, the concentration of sevoflurane consumed by the patient at the end of the case will be less.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
CHANGE IN P/Ffrom the beginning to the end of anesthesiaPaO2/FiO2 ratio is the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage). P/F ratio is a widely used clinical indicator of hypoxaemia
CHANGE IN PaCO2from the beginning to the end of anesthesiaThe partial pressure of carbon dioxide is the measure of carbon dioxide within arterial blood.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
volatile agent consumption amountfrom the beginning to the end of anesthesiathe total amount of volatile agent (sevoflurane) consumed at the end of the surgery

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
