*Office distention performed prior to operating room distention. Of 11 IC patients experiencing distention both in the OR and in the office with EMDA, the distention capacity obtained in the office at 60 cm H2O very closely approximates that achieved with general anesthesia at 80 cm H2O. In patients #3,4, and 7, the capacity achieved in the office was higher than that achieved in the OR. In patients #6 and 10, the capacity achieved was exactly the same.
