Comparison of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Parameters and Arterial-blood Gas Changes at Two Different Pneumoperitoneal Pressure Values

Completed
Conditions
Pneumoperitoneum
Interventions
Procedure: laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Registration Number
NCT05367557

Brief Summary

Clinic and metabolic consequences of pneumoperitoneum, achieved by insufflation of gas carbon dioxide, are still debated. Cardiovascular system suffering due to the compression of intra-abdominal venous structures can cause life-threatening complications. Increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide induces metabolic acidosis with further vascular suffering. Pneumoperitoneum reduces the pulmonary exchange volumes and bring renal suffering.

Methods. The aim of this study is to evaluate the alterations in hemodynamic and hemogasanalysis parameters during the laparoscopic surgery at different pressure settings of pneumoperitoneum in order to assess the best pressure value.

We evaluated and compared intraoperative hemodynamic and hemogasanalytic alterations in two groups of patients respectively subdue to laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a pneumoperitoneum pressure of 12 mmHg (group A) and at a pressure of 8 mmHg (group B).

Detailed Description

We evaluated intraoperative hemodynamic and hemogasanalytic alterations in two groups of randomized patients respectively operated at a pneumoperitoneum pressure of 12 mmHg (group A) and at a pressure of 8 mmHg (group B) to highlight any significant alterations.

The clinical sample used in the study is composed by patients aged between 15 and 85 years affected by cholelithiasis and treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the period between July 2019 and February 2020.

20 patients, 9 men and 11 women, were enrolled. Group A included 10 patients, 5 men and 5 women, with an average age of 47.9 years. Group B included 10 patients, 4 men and 6 women, with an average age of 50.7 years.

The parameters evaluated were: heart rate (HR), average arterial blood pressure (BP), respiratory frequency (RF), oxygen saturation (SaO2), hemogasanalysis (PaO2, PaCO2, pH and HCO3-).

The measurements were made at four stages: before the induction of anesthesia, after the anesthesia induction but before incision, 30 minutes after the pneumoperitoneum induction, 5 minutes after the pneumoperitoneum releasing.

The hemodynamic parameters (HR, RF, BP, SaO2) were extrapolated from the multiparameter monitor for each evaluation. The hemogasanalytic values (PaO2, PaCO2, pH and HCO3) were evaluated by the radial arterial sampling. The average and standard deviation were calculated for the quantitative data normally distributed. For the comparison of the quantitative data, the t-student test was used. A value of p ≤ 0,05 was considered statistically significant.
