Here, we compared the influence of inhaled and intravenous anesthetics on gas embolism during laparoscopic hepatectomy. Fifty patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy were divided into two groups to receive sevoflurane anesthesia (group S, n = 25) or intravenous propofol anesthesia (group p , n = 25). During the operation, gas emboli were detected by transesophageal echocardiography and graded according to their size. Venous CO 2 emboli were detected in all patients, and the embolism grades did not differ between the two groups. However, the mean embolism episode duration was longer in group S than group P (51.24±23.59 vs . 34.00±17.13 sec, p < 0.05). At the point of the most severe gas embolism , the PT CO2 was higher in group S than group p (44.00±4.47 vs . 41.36±2.77 mmHg, p < 0.05), while the PO 2 /FiO 2 ( 4 50.52±54.08 vs. 503.80±63.18, p < 0.05) and pH values (7.35±0.05 vs . 7.38±0.02, p < 0.05) were lower in group S than group P. Patients with a history of abdominal surgery or liver cirrhosis had higher gas embolism grades. Thus volatile anesthetics may lengthen the duration of embolism episodes and worsen hemodynamics and pulmonary blood gas exchange during surgery.
