Physiologic Responses to Infrarenal Aortic Cross-Clamping during Laparoscopic or Conventional Vascular Surgery in Experimental Animal Model: Comparative Study

Table 7

Recovery times in pigs anesthetized with sevoflurane, fentanyl, and vecuronium and undergoing aortic cross-clamping through laparotomy (Group I) or laparoscopy with (Group II) or without aortic cross-clamping (Group III).

	Recovery time (min)
Recovery indicator	Group I	Group II	Group III
First movement	12.5±8.2	12.6±10.5	10.5±3.5^*
Extubation	11.6±5.8	11.2±4.1	7.5±1.0
Sternal recumbency	34.7±23.8	37.4±14.1	27.2±2.3
Standing	292.2±14.7	71.6±20.1^*	79.3±15.9^*

^*Significantly (𝑃<.05) different from values obtained for pigs undergoing laparoscopy.
