Assessing cesarean section and inguinal hernia repair as proxy indicators of the total number of surgeries performed in Sierra Leone in 2012.

abstract：:The recent surge in enthusiasm for laparoscopic surgery has created concern that abdominal insufflation with carbon dioxide produces a respiratory acidosis. This may be because of both transperitoneal gas absorption and impaired ventilation with increased dead space from elevated intraabdominal pressure. To examine th...
