Effects of high positive end‐expiratory pressure on haemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation during pneumoperitoneum in the Trendelenburg position

Abstract

SummaryWe investigated the effects of 10 cmH 2 O positive end-expiratory pressure on cerebral haemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation in patients undergoing laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery in the 30°Trendelenburg position during desflurane anaesthesia. Twenty-six patients were enrolled in this study. After anaesthesia induction, pneumoperitoneum was applied in Trendelenburg position. Twenty minutes later, positive end-expiratory pressure was applied. There was no change in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (p = 0.376). Cerebral perfusion pressure decreased significantly over time (p < 0.001) and positive end-expiratory pressure caused a further decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure (p = 0.036). The application of 10 cmH 2 O positive end-expiratory pressure during pneumoperitoneum in the Trendelenburg position preserved regional cerebral oxygen saturation, but cerebral perfusion pressure decreased significantly due to its secondary haemodynamic effects.

The Effect of Ventilation Strategy on Arterial and Cerebral Oxygenation During Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery

“…Based on a previous study [12], to achieve an α-error of 0.05 and a β-error of 0.1, assuming a mean difference of 48.8 mmHg in PaO 2 (SD 55.5 mmHg) after an increased I/E …”

A Comparative Study between Protective Lung Ventilation versus Conventional Ventilation in Obese Patients Undergoing Abdominal Laparoscopic Surgery

“…Almarakbi et al [24] reported that the patients who were subjected to RMs require more vasopressors. Jo et al [27] reported decreases in MAP and HR when PEEP was added in the setting of a pneumoperitoneum.…”
