Retrospective Assessment of Factors Affecting Carboxyhemoglobin Levels in Patients Undergoing Robotic Surgery

Objective: Electrocautery in laparoscopic surgeries converts abdominal carbon dioxide gas into carbon monoxide, which binds to hemoglobin with a higher affinity than oxygen and can impair oxygen transport and lead to hypoxia. This study aimed to assess changes in carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels and...
