Haemodynamic effects produced by insufflation of carbon dioxide into the abdominal cavity during laparoscopy.
Nine healthy women underwent diagnostic laparoscopy during balanced anaesthesia without halothane. Heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output were measured before and after insufflation of carbon dioxide in to the abdominal cavity. The cardiac output was measured by a bedside radiocardiographic apparatus using 113Indium as a tracer. There was remarkable stability of the cardiovascular system during laparoscopy with only slight rise in blood pressure.
