Abstract


BACKGROUND:

To assess the effects of   pneumoperitoneum on arterial and end tidal

carbondioxide pressure gradient during laparoscopic surgery in adults . METHODOLOGY:

Sixty, ASA 1&2 patients between 20 to 60 years posted for elective

laparoscopic appendicectomy or cholecystectomy were selected . Intra abdominal pressure was maintained between 10-12 mmHg. Preinsufflation of CO2 and intra operatively 15 minutes after insufflation ABGs were analysed. The changes in PaCO2 ,ETCO2 ,   P(a-Et)CO2 gradient ,PH, bicarbonate  and hemodynamic changes were studied.

CONCLUSION:

There was significant increase in ETC02 ,PaCO2, P(a-Et)CO2 gradient, after

CO2 insufflation but within  normal range. There was decrease in pH

without bicarbonate change with slight increase in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure.

The arterial and ETCO2 pressure gradients were under the normal limits even

after  pneumoperitoneum. The normal pressure P(a-Et)CO2 gradient implies adequate ventilation to alveoli and perfusion . ETCO2 correlate well with  PaCO2 as  best parameter to diagnose hypercarbia.
