Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2)

    The rSO2 measurements were made using the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) method. For this, prior to induction, the cerebral oximetry sensor was placed at least 2 cm above the eyebrows and 3 cm from the midline in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Measurements were recorded at baseline, at 1 minute after induction, and then every 5 minutes until the patient went to the recovery unit. Baseline values were accepted as measurements in the last 30 seconds of preoxygenation for 3 minutes with 80% oxygen before induction. Cerebral desaturation was defined as a decrease in the rSO2 value of more than 25% from the baseline value (if the baseline value is \<50, the decrease should be more than 20%), with this condition lasting ≥15 seconds.

    The rSO2 value changes were recorded from baseline until the patient was referred to the recovery unit, up to 160 minutes.

  • Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) analysis-pH

    The pH value was measured 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.

    The pH values of the patients were recorded after anesthesia induction until 10 minutes after desufflation, up to 140 minutes.

  • Arterial blood gas analysis: partial pressure of oxygen (PO2)

    The PO2 value was measured 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.

    The oxygen partial pressure values of the patients were recorded after anesthesia induction until 10 minutes after desufflation, up to 140 minutes.

  • Arterial blood gas analysis: partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2)

    The PCO2 value was measured 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.

    The carbon dioxide partial pressure values of the patients were recorded after anesthesia induction until 10 minutes after desufflation, up to 140 minutes.

  • Arterial blood gas analysis: Hemoglobin (Hg) value

    The Hg value was measured 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.

    The hemoglobin values of the patients were recorded after anesthesia induction until 10 minutes after desufflation, up to 140 min.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • The mean arterial pressure (MAP) values

    The mean arterial pressure was recorded from baseline until the patient was referred to the recovery unit, up to 160 minutes.

  • The heart rate (HR) values

    The heart rate was recorded from baseline until the patient was referred to the recovery unit, up to 160 minutes.

  • Peripheral oxygen saturation (SPO2) values

    The oxygen saturation was recorded from baseline until the patient was referred to the recovery unit, up to 160 minutes.

  • Anesthesia time (min)

    Anesthesia time was recorded during each operation.

  • Surgical Time (min)

    Surgical time was recorded during each operation.

Masking Details
Patients were randomly classified into 2 groups using opaque sealed envelopes. Randomization was performed using a computer-generated random number list, and a statement indicating the patient's group was placed in a closed envelope numbered according to the result. Each patient was asked to choose an envelope, and the patients were assigned to the study according to the group written in the envelope.
Purpose
SUPPORTIVE CARE
Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: The patients were randomly classified into 2 groups. The patients given the low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mmHg) treatment were called Group LP (n = 30), and the patients given the standard pressure treatment (14 mmHg) were called Group SP (n = 30). Each patient and the anesthesiologist responsible for that patient's anesthesia management were blinded to the group assignments.
