Patients within the age limit of 20-70 <br>years were incorporated in the study. Patients were <br>separated into 2 groups; the first group was <br>administered to a PaCO2 of 7-10 mmHg while the <br>second group was administered to a PaCO2 of 12-14 <br>mmHg. The abdominal pain, liver function tests and <br>hemodynamic symptoms were checked. Data <br>analysis was done using SPSS version 19.0. <br>Results:A significant statistical variation (p< 0.05) <br>was seen among systolic blood pressure of the two <br>groups. Similarly a statistically significant variation <br>was observed among the mean of heart rates. The <br>mean heart rate of the high-pressure group was high <br>during surgery and 1 h after operation (P < 0.05). <br>High pressure group had high value of abdominal <br>pain. <br>Conclusion: Due to quality and less side effects, <br>low-pressure LC technique is better than high-<br>pressure laparoscopic cholecystectomy.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={Aamir Ghazanfar, Afifa Asghar, Aamir Ghazanfar, Afifa Asghar}, year={2019}, month={May} }
