A simplified approach to the anesthesia of porcine laparoscopic surgical subjects.
At a series of laparoscopic surgical workshops, 155 pigs were successfully anesthetised for up to 4 hours by using Profolol (Diprivan) as the anesthetic agent and without provision of positive pressure ventilation. On the basis of our findings, we believe this methodology presents a useful alternative to gaseous anesthesia and provides definite logistical and technical advantages.
