[Occurrence of acute refractory hypotension during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Report of a case and review of the literature].
The authors report the case of a patient who developed irreversible cardiovascular collapse during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The abrupt onset of shock and the rapid deterioration of the hemodynamic conditions prevented a thorough diagnostic workup. Possible differential diagnoses of hypotension occurring during laparoscopic procedures are reviewed and discussed.
