Abstract
Forty women undergoing day case laparoscopy were randomly allocated to receive either an inhalational or total intravenous anaesthetic. All patients breathed spontaneously through a Brain laryngeal mask. There were no clinically significant cardiovascular or respiratory differences between the two techniques. No episodes of clinical aspiration occurred and there were no peri-operative arrhythmias. We conclude that spontaneous respiration with a laryngeal mask is a safe and effective method of anaesthesia for laparoscopy provided certain guidelines are followed.Keywords
