Anesthesia Management of Retroperitoneal Adrenalectomies

• Conditions: Adrenal Tumors

• Registration Number: NCT00894335
• Lead Sponsor: Kliniken Essen-Mitte

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, perioperative evaluation of hemodynamic and respiratory parameters in patients undergoing retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomies.

Detailed Description

Due to their underlying disease, patients with adrenal tumors are prone to episodes of hyper- and hypotension. Furthermore, excessive hypercarbia and an increased arterial-alveolar CO2 difference can be seen during these operations.
