Repair of hernias with loss of domain in obese patients can lead to acute respiratory failure.
The objective of this study was to analyze preoperative progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) in increasing abdominal cavity volume and its impact on respiratory function.
The study was conducted at the
BACKGROUND
Induction of pneumoperitoneum can be a difficult, time-consuming, and occasionally hazardous task in a morbidly obese patient.
METHODS
We have induced pneumoperitoneum in 600 consecutive morbidly obese patients using a 120 mm Veress needle inserted <1 mm beneath the left costal margin,
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is commonly indicated in morbidly obese patients. There is controversy regarding the hemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum (PNP) in obese patients. PNP and changes in body posture have complex effects on venous return that may be detected
We prospectively evaluated the effects of pneumoperitoneum and reverse Trendelenburg position on cardiopulmonary function in 20 ASA physical status II-III morbidly obese patients (body mass index > 35 kg m(-2)) undergoing laparoscopic gastric banding. After general anaesthesia was induced, patients'
Tracheomalacia is characterized by the collapse of the tracheal wall due to the softening of the tracheal cartilage and myoelastic tissues. We describe the case of a 12-year-old morbidly obese boy, without previous medical issues, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Immediately
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of pneumoperitoneum and the reverse Trendelenburg position on respiratory mechanics and blood-gases in morbid obese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension.
METHODS
Sixteen morbid obese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND
The authors studied the effects of the beach chair (BC) position, 10 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and pneumoperitoneum on respiratory function in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric banding.
METHODS
The authors studied 20 patients (body mass index 42
BACKGROUND
Anesthesia adversely affects respiratory function and hemodynamics in obese patients. Although many studies have been performed in morbidly obese patients, data are limited concerning overweight patients [BMI 25-29.9 kg m(-2)]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of
BACKGROUND
The type of anaesthetic used affects the cardiovascular function in morbidly obese patients during pneumoperitoneum. In this prospective randomized study, we evaluated the influence of inhalation anaesthesia with sevoflurane or intravenous anaesthesia with propofol on haemodynamic
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer and abdominal wall hernias. We report a case of tension pneumoperitoneum that developed after gynecological surgery and mesh repair of a ventral hernia.
METHODS
A 57-year-old Asian Taiwanese woman with a body mass index of
We studied the effect of morbid obesity, 20 mm Hg pneumoperitoneum, and body posture (30 degrees head down and 30 degrees head up) on respiratory system mechanics, oxygenation, and ventilation during laparoscopy. We hypothesized that insufflation of the abdomen with CO(2) during laparoscopy would
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary function is impaired during pneumoperitoneum mainly as a result of atelectasis formation. We studied the effects of 10 cm H2O of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and PEEP followed by a recruitment maneuver (PEEP+RM) on end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), oxygenation and
Obtaining access to the peritoneal cavity in laparoscopic surgery is more difficult in morbidly obese people. The aim of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of accessing the peritoneal cavity using an optical, bladeless trocar without previous pneumoperitoneum in morbidly obese
Airway closure causes lack of communication between proximal airways and alveoli, making tidal inflation start only after a critical airway opening pressure is overcome. The authors conducted a matched cohort study to report the existence of this phenomenon among obese patients OBJECTIVE
To review the physiologic effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum in the morbidly obese.
BACKGROUND
The number of laparoscopic bariatric operations performed in the United States has increased dramatically over the past several years. Laparoscopic bariatric surgery requires
