Abstract

The effects of peritoneal insufflation with carbon dioxide on hepatic and renal blood flow have not been reported hitherto. We evaluated these effects in a porcine model of abdominal laparoscopic surgery. Seven anesthetized pigs underwent peritoneal insufflation in a step-wise manner to create intraabdominal pressures of 6, 12, 18 and 24 mmHg, and changes in the arterial and venous pressure, arterial blood gases, and hepatic and renal blood flow were monitored. Both the hepatic and renal blood flow decreased as the intraabdominal pressure increased. Therefore, in order to carry out laparoscopic abdominal surgery safely in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, low intraabdominal pressures or noninsufflating techniques are recommended.
