AbstractAbstract PDF
Despite numerous benefits of laparoscopic procedures, during carbon dioxide-induced pneumoperitoneum, the serious hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis in hypercapnic patients with decreased pulmonary compliance may be developed. Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) has been shown to be a useful adjunct to controlled mechanical hypoventilation. However, the utility of TGI in hypercapnic management during laparoscopic surgery was not reported yet. We report a case that TGI superimposed on controlled mechanical ventilation corrected hypercapnia induced by carbon dioxide-induced pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic salphingo-oophorectomy. There was no specific anesthetic problem during operation, patients was discharged uneventfully.
