Effects of PEEP on Intracranial and Intraocular Pressure in Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03031613
Lead Sponsor
Gangnam Severance Hospital
Brief Summary

To investigate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the intracerebral pressure (ICP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP)

Detailed Description

Application of PEEPmay reduce pulmonary complication following RALRP. Meanwhile, it may increase ICP and IOP, which has been debated for decades. Moreover, Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum, which are mandatory for RALRP, may augment elevation of ICP and IOP. This study aims to investigate the effects of PEEP on the ICP and IOP in patients undergoing RALRP.

IOPChanges from pre-induction (baseline) at Post-induction 5 min, Pneumoperitoneum insufflation and Trendelenburg position 5 min, Pneumoperitoneum insufflation and Trendelenburg position 30 min, Penumoperitoneum desufflation and supine position 5 min

IOP is directly assessed by measurement of IOP with the Tono-Pen AVIA®
