Implication

Epidural anesthesia permitted compensatory ventilation rise without PaCO2 elevation during laparoscopy; hypothesis-generating for safety versus general anesthesia.

Structured PICO

Does epidural anesthesia cause ventilatory depression during laparoscopy in healthy female patients?

P
Population
7 female patients (ASA physical status I) scheduled for a gamete intrafallopian transfer procedure.
I
Intervention
Epidural anesthesia with 15-18 mL of 1.5% plain lidocaine using a catheter inserted at the L3-4 level during laparoscopy.
O
Outcome
Ventilatory measurements (VO2, VCO2, VE, VT, F, and PETCO2) and arterial blood gas analysessurrogate

Epidural anesthesia may be a safe alternative to general anesthesia for outpatient laparoscopy as it does not cause ventilatory depression.
