The Measurements of End-tidal Carbondioxide Levels

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the end tidal carbon dioxide pressure (ETCO2) values in order to determine the carbon dioxide accumulation under drape and to investigate it's hemodynamic effects based on anesthetic and surgical records in eye surgeries under local anesthesia. Methods: The data were collected from anesthetic records of the patients who were followed with noninvasive capnograph (Capnostream 20 p, Oridion®, Israel) by the anesthesiology department in the operating room at Duzce University Faculty of Medicine Hospital during the period of January 2016 to December 2016. Collected data from the 42 patients' records were systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, operation duration, total local anesthetic and, heart rate, ST segment analysis, ETCO2 pressure, pulse oximeter values. The time periods of collected datas were determined as: after the anesthesia and before drape closure (baseline level), at 10th, 15th, 20th, 45th of the surgery and 5 minutes after drape removal.
