Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims: Previous studies found that low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia in respiratory mechanics is comparable with higher flow during laparoscopic surgery, but metabolic flow has not been studied adequately. The study compares the effect of metabolic flow with the low-flow technique on respiratory mechanics during laparoscopic procedures. Material and Methods: Sixty adult patients of either sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II scheduled for laparoscopic surgery of
