Table 1. Pre- and postoperative levels of ETCO2, PCO2, PO2, Ph, TOS, TAS and OSI in dogs undergoing open or laparoscopic ovariectomy.

Parameters Group Preoperative Postoperative P
ETCO2 (mm Hg) Open 46 (2.54) 48 (3.04) NS
Laparoscopy 44 (2.05) 47.5 (3.47) NS

PCO2 (mm Hg) Open 35.9 (2.22) 38.6 (3.31) NS
Laparoscopy 38.1 (2.16) 40.5 (2.48) NS

PO2 (mm Hg) Open 504.6 (15.96) 510.3 (21.34) NS
Laparoscopy 546.3 (36.58) 593.3 (27.26) NS

pH Open 7.36 (0.05) 7.34 (0.08) NS
Laparoscopy 7.38 (0.06) 7.36 (0.05) NS

TOS (μmol H2O2/l) Open 11.5 (2.62) 34.52 (8.60) 0.002*
Laparoscopy 10.9 (2.24) 22.34 (3.69) 0.002*, 0.009**

TAS (mmol Trolox equiv/l) Open 4.3 (1.17) 3.38 (1.15) NS
Laparoscopy 4.27 (1.30) 3.12 (1.36) NS

OSI (arbitrary unit) Open 2.7 (0.48) 10.3 (1.74) 0.002*
Laparoscopy 2.9 (1.47) 9.21 (5.93) 0.009*

Median (inter-quartile range), Open, open ovariectomy group; Laparoscopy, laparoscopic ovariectomy group. ETCO2, end-tidal CO2; TOS, total oxidant status; TAS, total antioxidant status; OSI, oxidative stress index; NS, not significant. *Statistically difference compared to “preoperative” (n=6). **Statistically difference compared to open surgery group (n=6).
