Abstract
BACKGROUND
Peritoneal insufflation results in hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of the present work is to test whether non-invasive applanation tonometry is suitable for reflecting these hemodynamic alterations.
METHODS
41 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies were monitored using the SphygmoCor pulse wave analysing system. Peripheral blood pressures (PBP), central aortic blood pressures (CBP), augmentation index (ALX@HR75) and subendocardial viability ratio (SVR) were measured at rest (Phase 1), after anesthetic induction (Phase 2), after peritoneal inflation (Phase 3) and after peritoneal deflation (Phase 4).
RESULTS
Induction of anesthesia resulted in a statistically significant reduction in both the peripheral blood pressure and central aortic pressures, accompanied by a decrease in augmentation pressure and augmentation index. Peripheral blood pressures did not change along with the peritoneal cavity insufflation, except for a moderate increase in systolic blood pressure. In contrast to this, an increase could be observed in central aortic pressure (106.77 ± 18.78 vs. 118.05 ± 19.85 mmHg, P < 0.01) which was accompanied by increased augementation pressure (18.97 ± 10.80 vs. 31.55 ± 12.01; P < 0.001) and augmentation index (7.31 ± 5.59 vs. 12.61 ± 7.56, P < 0.001), indicating a rise in peripheral arterial stiffness.
CONCLUSIONS
The Sphigmocor pulse wave analysis system can be reliably used for detecting and monitoring cardiovascular changes occurring during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
