EFFECT OF DIFFERENT ANESTHESIA METHODS ON EOSINOPENIC RESPONSE TO SURGICAL STRESS

SUMMARY Using the reaction of circulating eosinophils as an indicator, the authors studied the influence of three different anesthesia meshods (closed system, open ether and spinal anesthesia) on the surgical stress as a function of the duration of operation. The material studied consisted of 435 gynecological cases. The open ether method proved to be slightly more stressful to the patient than the other two methods used.
