Physiological Impact of Carbon Dioxide Pneumoperitoneum on Cardiovascular Function and Respiratory Mechanics in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum is an essential component of advanced laparoscopic surgery, but the increase in intra-abdominal pressure required to create the surgical workspace produces important hemodynamic and respiratory alterations. This study analyzed the principal physiological effects of pneumoperitoneum on cardiovascular performance and respiratory mechanics, considering the influence of insufflation pressure, patient positioning, obesity, duration of surgery, mechanical ventilation, and cardiopulmonary r …
