Filtered signal-averaged P-wave duration during pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A reflection of pathophysiological cardiac changes

Abstract: Primarily, a decreased P-wave duration was expected, due to cardiac autonomic sympathetic predominance during PP. Its prolongation during PP may reflect some cardiac pathophysiological (structural and functional) changes, including influence on cardiac ion channels during depolarization. Usually, clinical consequences related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy are absent, but clinical awareness should be maintained for cardiac diseased patients undergoing prolonged laparoscopic procedures.

“…Patients with ischemic heart disease are prone to develop atrial fibrillation, a condition which could beprecipitated by CO 2 pneumoperitoneum 20 . Most of thestudies addressing cardiovascular effects of CO 2 pneumoperitoneumhave been performed in healthy subjects, whoseem to tolerate pneumoperitoneum without untowardproblem [15,16,21].…”

“…Neurohumoral response during laparoscopic surgeries can increase systemic vascular resistance, HR and myocardial oxygen consumption 19,20 . Interaction among effects of exogenous CO 2 , raised IAP and reverse Trendelenburg position during LC can thus precipitate myocardial ischemia and dysrhythmias [21][22][23] . LC still remains the therapy of choice even in the sick elderly in order to prevent serious complications of cholelithiasis, but at the cost of a higher rate of morbidities under GA 15,24,25 .…”

“…However, pneumoperitoneum induced by CO 2 causes hemodynamic changes, including increased heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and systemic vascular pressure. 22,23 The position of patients can also cause hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Maximum hemodynamic changes, including a decline in cardiac index, were observed when CO 2 pneumoperitoneum was induced with patients in a head-up position.…”
