title: [Experience of anesthesia during transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy for palmar hyperhidrosis: comparison between double-lumen endobronchial tube ventilation and laryngeal mask ventilation].
abstract: In the past year we had 36 patients operated for transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy to treat palmar hyperhidrosis. The first group composed of 17 patients receiving anesthesia with double-lumen endobronchial-tube ventilation from July-92 to April-93, and the second group composed of 19 patients receiving anesthesia with laryngeal mask ventilation from April-93 to August-93. During right lung collapse for sympathectomy, the first group patients' SaO2 (oxygen saturation) decreased from 99.65 +/- 0.62 mmHg (pre-operation) to 95.12 +/- 5.48 mmHg (at cauterization), 95.24 +/- 5.41 mmHg (5 minutes after cauterization) and resumed 99.53 +/- 0.62 mmHg after the procedure completed. During left lung collapse for left side sympathectomy, the same group patients' SaO2 decreased from 99.59 +/- 0.62 mmHg to 97.35 +/- 3.06 mmHg, 97.82 +/- 2.53 mmHg and resumed 99.65 +/- 0.49 mmHg respectively. The second group using laryngeal mask ventilation had SaO2 changes during right side sympathectomy from 99.68 +/- 0.58 mmHg (pre-cauterization) to 99.74 +/- 0.45 mmHg (when cauterization), 99.79 +/- 0.42 mmHg (5 minutes after cauterization) and resumed 99.84 +/- 0.37 mmHg after the procedure completed. During left side sympathectomy the second group patients' SaO2 changed from 99.84 +/- 0.39 mmHg to 99.42 +/- 1.50 mmHg, 99.47 +/- 1.46 mmHg and resumed 99.74 +/- 0.59 mmHg respectively. After 2-Way ANOVA with repeated measures of the SaO2 value, we could see that no matter what side operation, there were differences existed between these two groups (< 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
