[Use of capnography during endoscopic cholecystectomy under different artificial ventilation modes]
Abstract
A portable multigas monitoring system was used in 20 patients during labaroscopic cholecystectomy. The system was found to provide useful on-line information on ventilatory changes, which permitted the prevention of cardiopulmonary abnormalities during this type of surgery. Expiratory CO2 and CO2 production closely correlated with PaCO2.
