The Effect of Pneumoperitoneum Timing on Intracranial Pressure in Laparoscopy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pneumoperitoneum
Intracranial Pressure Increase
Registration Number
NCT04224532
Lead Sponsor
Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

Reverse Trendelenburg position has been shown to slightly reduce the intracranial pressure associated with pneumoperitoneum. However, there are no studies on the effect of the timing of reverse Trendelenburg position on intracranial pressure. This study will monitor the effect of reverse Trendelenburg position before or after pneumoperitoneum on intracranial pressure and regional cerebral oxygen saturation.

Detailed Description

The literature includes studies that investigate the relationship of pneumoperitoneum and different positions with intracranial pressure during laparoscopy. Reverse Trendelenburg position has been shown to slightly reduce the intracranial pressure associated with pneumoperitoneum. However, there are no studies on the effect of the timing of reverse Trendelenburg position on intracranial pressure. This study will monitor the effect of reverse Trendelenburg position before or after pneumoperitoneum on intracranial pressure and regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Ultrasound guided measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter as a non-invasive method will be used for measurement. The investigators believe reverse Trendelenburg position before pneumoperitoneum may prevent undesired sudden increases in intracranial pressure.
