Respiratory effects of prolonged Trendelenburg position.
The Trendelenburg position has been severely criticized (Inglis and Brooke, 1956; Swain, 1960) but is still popular for pelvic surgery. One of the main complaints about this position is that it reduces ventilation as a result of pressure by the abdominal contents upon the diaphragm. This, of course, applies only to patients breaching spontaneously, because, if artificial ventilation is used, th...
متن کاملSome respiratory effects of a modified knee-elbow position during anaesthesia.
A modified knee-elbow position which facilitates the repair of vesico-vaginal fistulae is described. Some respiratory effects consequent on the assumption of this position were investigated. In twenty-seven conscious male subjects the vital capacity was reduced by an average of 16.3 per cent on assuming the position. In twelve patients under light anaesthesia with halothane there was no differe...
متن کاملThe effects of the reverse trendelenburg position on respiratory mechanics and blood gases in morbidly obese patients during bariatric surgery.
Anesthesia adversely affects respiratory function, particularly in morbidly obese patients. Although many studies have been performed to determine the optimal ventilatory settings in these patients, this question has not been answered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reverse Trendelenburg position (RTP) on gas exchange and respiratory mechanics in 15 obese patients undergoin...
متن کاملThe effect of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position on respiratory mechanics during pelviscopic surgery
BACKGROUND Conventional pelviscopic surgery requires pneumoperitoneum with CO(2) gas insufflation and lithotomy-Trendelenburg position. Pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position may influence intraoperative respiratory mechanics in anesthetic management. This study was conducted to investigate the influence of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position on respiratory compliance and ventilati...
متن کاملA Wireless Electronic Esophageal Stethoscope for Continuous Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems during Anaesthesia
Background: The basic requirements for monitoring anesthetized patients during surgery are assessing cardiac and respiratory function. Esophageal stethoscopes have been developed for this purpose, but these devices may not provide clear heart and lung sound due to existence of various noises in operating rooms. In addition, the stethoscope is not applicable for continues monitoring, and it is u...
