Background: Operative hysteroscopy requires the use of a distension medium and its absorption can lead to serious consequences from intravascular volume overload and water intoxication. We compared the impact of 2 types of anesthesia (general anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation) on the absorption of glycine solution in operative hysteroscopy.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted over a 17-month period.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of anesthesia on the absorption of glycine in operative hysteroscopy.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed over 2 years. The absorption of glycine was compared among general anesthesia, local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, and spinal anesthesia.
