Based on the experience of 190 laparoscopic cholecys-tectomies, the authors make a comparison of the cardiovascular sys-tem state when applying epidural anaesthesia and endotracheal nar-cosis. They show that changes in hemodynamics indexes when ap-plying endotracheal narcosis are well-marked, as against the epidu-ral anesthesia, thus implying that maintenance of spontaneous breathing during the whole operation makes for more adequate compensation of negative effects of carbon-dioxide peritoneum.
