Background And AimThe many advantages of low-flow anesthesia are now recognized. Apart from its positive effects on the patient, it is clear that it is a method that all anesthetists should prefer with its positive effects on the ecological balance.Patients And MethodsThis prospective, observational, cross-sectional study included 80 patients aged 18-65 years with an American Society of Anesthesiologists score of 1-2 (ASA I-II) who were scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.ResultsAlthough the operation time and anesthesia duration were higher in the low anesthesia group group, sevoflurane consumption was lower. Considering the operation times, up to 60% savings were achieved.ConclusionIn our study, we safely applied low-flow anesthesia to our patients with advanced monitoring. We believe that low-flow anesthesia is advantageous in terms of both patients' health, ecological balance, and cost.
