- Abstract
Background: The low-flow anaesthesia with sevoflurane is preferred in laparoscopic abdominal surgeries due to its advantage of less anaesthetic consumption, decreased atmospheric pollution and cost effectiveness. Purpose: To investigate the effects of low-flow anaesthesia with volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane on renal and hepatic functions in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Material and Methods: Forty patients with ASA I or II (American Society of Anaesthesiologists Classification) physical scores were included in the study to receive sevoflurane at a fresh gas flow rate of 1 L/min. Blood samples were obtained before anaesthesia and at 24 and 48 hours after the anaesthesia for serum biochemical analysis. Results: There was no significant difference in renal and hepatic function tests 24 and 48 hours after laparoscopic abdominal surgery as compared to preoperative levels. Conclusion: Biochemical parameters were similar in the preoperative and post-operative period (p >0.05).
