[Blood oxygen-transporting function during different anesthesiological provision procedures in the surgery of the hepatopancreatoduodenal area].

A comparative analysis of blood oxygen-transportingfunction (BOTF) under 6 types of combined general anesthesia (low-flow inhalational anesthesia in combination with a narcotic analgesic or with continuous graded epidural infusion (CGEI) of local anesthetics) during high-traumatic and prolonged operations on the hepatopancreaoduodenal area has revealed no significant abnormalities of tissue oxygen transport and metabolism. At the same time when a procedure of anesthesia is chosen for this category of patients, preference should be given to a combination of CGEI and low-flow inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane in nitrous-oxide mixture, which provides a minimum drug load, optimal conditionsfor cardiovascular performance, and stability of BOTF parameters even in baseline endotoxicosis.
