Prolonged carbon dioxide insufflation under general anesthesia for endoscopic submucosal dissection

Abstract

Increases of PaCO (2) during esophagogastroduodenal ESD under general anesthesia with CO (2) insufflation remained within acceptable or readily controllable ranges, and are little enhanced by prolongation of the procedure. Esophagogastroduodenal ESD can be performed safely and feasibly with this procedure.
