ABSTRACT
The anesthetic management has been fitted to the needs of the laparoscopic surgery, as a way to keep the blood CO2 levels in between the physiologic needs. The equilibrium between the production and elimination of this gas, seems to be affected by the introduction of a large amount of CO2 in the abdominal cavity, gas normally used in this surgery to insuflate and start a pneumoperitoneum. The purpose of this study is to know the adequate parameters in the pressure controlled ventilation in laparoscopic surgery and make a comparison against the volume controlled ventilation to determine in wich of the 2 modes establish a diminutive end tidal CO2. The sample size was 92 patients between 18 and 80 years old with an ASA I-II classification, who didn’t present cardiopulmonary illness and were programmed for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The total of the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 46 patients each, they all were managed by general anesthesia and every group was assigned with a ventilation mode. The measured parameters at the beginning, during, and at the end of the pneumoperitoneum were oxygen saturation, cardiac frequency, blood pressure, tidal volume, minute volume, air way pressures, end tidal CO2, and intraabdominal pressure. The statistical analysis was realized by panel data with random effects, analyzed by the program STATA 11. There were found significant differences in the levels of end tidal CO2,being lower in the pressure controled ventilation group, and even more markedly in female patients.REFERENCES
