Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Low-flow anesthesia has been used for years with positive results, but its effects on hemodynamic parameters and oxygenation are not clearly known in high-risk morbidly obese patients who are prone to pulmonary dysfunction related to the obesity. Therefore, this prospective randomized study aimed to compare the effects of low-flow (0.75 L/min) and normal-flow (1.5 L/min) anesthesia on hemodynamic parameters and oxygenation in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Low-flow anesthesia has several potential benefits. It improves the flow dynamics of the inhaled air, increase mucociliary clearance, maintain body temperature, reduce fluid loss, result in savings of up to 75% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce treatment costs (10 - 13). However, it is necessary to examine whether the reduction of fresh gas flow affects the quality and safety of anesthesia management, especially during high-risk operations such as laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Low-flow anesthesia has been used for years with positive results, but its effects on hemodynamic parameters and oxygenation are not clearly known in high-risk morbidly obese patients who are prone to pulmonary dysfunction related to the obesity.

low-flow anesthesia

Patients in low-flow anesthesia receive a fresh gas flow of 4 L/min for the first 10 minutes and were then maintain with a fresh gas flow of 0.75 L/min. Patients will be monitored for hemodynamic parameters during the perioperative period. Arterial blood gase will be analyzed for the oxygenation.
