Comparison of Effects of Low and High Flow Desflurane Anaesthesia on Hemogram Parameters

Abstract

Objectives: To compare the effects of low and high flow desflurane anaesthesia on hemogram parameters in lowerabdominal surgeries.Methods: Sixty female patients who underwent lower abdominal surgery under general anaesthetic were included inthis prospective study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, as Group I (low flow) and Group II (high flow),and then compared with each other according to their demographic features and hemogram parameters.Results: Groups were statistically similar, and there were no significant differences in terms of demographic data betweenthe groups (p>0.05). The comparisons of hemogram parameters within the groups showed that there weresignificant differences in plateletcrit, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio values in Group I(p
