- Brief Summary
Steep Trendelenburg positioning and insufflation of the abdominal cavity have shown to increase intra ocular pressure. Different anesthetic techniques can alter intra ocular pressure and a small pilot study showed decrease in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in robotic case in steep Trendelenburg with IV anesthetics (TIVA).
We want to quantify the degree of change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in female patients undergoing robotic procedures for cancer. We want to detect the difference in increase of pressure with total IV anesthesia versus conventional balanced anesthesia
- Detailed Description
During the day of surgery, the anesthesiologist trained by an ophthalmologist, will measure each eye's Intraocular Pressure (IOP) using a tonometer for both the Trendelenburg with IV anesthetics (TIVA) and propofol/fentanyl/rocuronium arms of the study. (The Tono-Pen XL Medtronic Solan, Jacksonville, FL) The Intraocular Pressure (IOP) for both eyes will be measured at seven time points:
Time 1 induction after administration of sedative and local anesthesia in the eye. Both eyes of the patient will anesthetized using topical proparacaine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.5%.
Time 2 Post induction table 0 degrees Time 3 Supine after pneumoperitoneum with 14 mmHg pressure Time 4 After docking robot at correct Trendelenburg positioned measured by a level Time 5 After undocking and before moving supine Time 6 Supine and before extubation. If the intraocular pressure remains elevated above 19 mmHg will require a 7th measurement in PACU with HOB at 30 degrees and if the pressure still at or above 19 ophthalmology consult initiated.
Time 7 if needed, see above
If the patient has any increased reading at the end of the procedure, the same attending anesthesiologist in the post-operative recovery area prior to discharge will do a post op measurement. Any abnormal readings will prompt an ophthalmology consult and follow up with ophthalmology department.

Group Intervention Description TIVA anesthesia TIVA Induction with 1% propofol (2-3 mg/kg), fentanyl (1-3 mg/kg), and Rocuronium 1-1.5 mg/kg. Before the injection of propofol, 5 mL 1% lidocaine (50 mg) to limit any discomfort caused by the propofol injection. After endotracheal intubation, intravenous infusion of propofol, lidocaine, ketamine or narcotic as deemed appropriate by anesthesiologist. There will be no inhalation anesthetic used. Ventilation with oxygen and air mixture (50%/50%) and titrated to keep the mean arterial pressure within 20% of its preinduction value. Muscle relaxation maintain using Aliquots of rocuronium to 0 to 1 train-of-4 twitch response of adductor pollicis. During surgery, mechanical ventilation using pressure-controlled mode (peak inspiratory pressure 30 cm H2O). We aim for Tidal volume of 5-7 ml/Kg of ideal body weight with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O, and a respiratory rate to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide between 30 to 40 mm Hg. Balanced anesthesia Balanced anesthesia Induction with 1% propofol (2-3 mg/kg), fentanyl (1-3 mg/kg), and Rocuronium 1-1.5 mg/kg. Before the injection of propofol, 5 mL 1% lidocaine (50 mg) to limit any discomfort caused by the propofol injection. After endotracheal intubation, the depth of anesthesia will be maintained at a minimum alveolar concentration of 1 to 1.25 using isoflurane in oxygen and air mixture (50%/50%) and titrated to keep the mean arterial pressure within 20% of its preinduction value. Muscle relaxation maintain using Aliquots of rocuronium to 0 to 1 train-of-4 twitch response of adductor pollicis. During the surgery, subjects will be mechanically ventilated using pressure-controlled mode (peak inspiratory pressure 30 cm H2O). We aim for Tidal volume of 5-7 ml/Kg of ideal body weight with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O, and a respiratory rate to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide between 30 to 40 mm Hg.
