CO2 Iinflation During Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery
Posted: 08-19-07 18:12pm

75 year old male having laparascopic left inguinal hernia repair...
maybe bilateral, august 29. Have some respiratory problems probably due to former very heavy smoking. ct scan report says "increase in lung volume & flattening of the hemidiaphragms & increase in retrostarnal airspace." but i do walk 3 miles daily in about 50-55 minutes. concerned with co2 inflation during surgery & its effect on compromised lungs. also with possible general anaesthesia problems. thanks for any help
