An Analysis of Cerebral Oximetry After Low Pressure Compared With Standard Pressure Pneumoperitoneum in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Nephrectomy: A Prospective Randomized Parallel-Group Study

Detailed Summary

In this study, the changes in cerebral oxygen saturation due to low and high pressure pneumoperitoneum implementation were measured in patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy. This prospective, double-blind study included 62 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) PS class I-III patients aged 18-65 years who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy (simple, partial, or radical). Patients were randomly classified into 2 groups: Group LP (n = 31) included patients who were treated with low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mmHg) and Group SP (n = 31) included patients who were treated with standard pressure (14 mmHg). A standard anesthesia protocol was used in both groups. Bilateral rSO2 values were recorded at baseline, at 1 minute after induction, and then every 5 minutes until the patient went to the recovery unit. Data for mean arterial pressure (MAP), peak heart rate (HR), peripheral oxgen saturation (SpO2), and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) were also recorded at the same time intervals. Arterial blood gas was analyzed in the 5th minute after induction (t1) while the patient was in the supine position, in the 5th and 30th minutes after insufflation (t2, t3) while the patient was in the lateral semi-oblique position, and again 10 minutes after desufflation (t4) while the patient was in the supine position. Patient demographic data, duration of anesthesia, duration of surgery, lateral position time, pneumoperitoneum time, and recovery time were also recorded. used in both groups.
