Abstract
The amount of nitrogen accumulation during closed circuit anesthesia is greater during open abdominal surgery than in superficial surgery such as tympanoplasty. We postulate that during open abdominal surgery, nitrogen in the ambient air enters the body across the peritoneum and then diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
