ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate tests performed to confirm the position of the Veress needle inserted into the left hypochondrium for creation of pneumoperitonium. METHODS: One hundred patients were submitted to laparoscopic procedure with left hypochondrium puncturing. Needle positioning tests were evaluated. The aspiration test was considered positive when organic material was aspirated; the injection test was considered positive when no increased resistance to liquid injection was observed; the recovery test was considered positive when the liquid injected was not recovered; the saline drop test was considered positive when drops of saline in the syringe disappeared quickly; the initial intraperitoneal pressure test was considered positive when pressure levels were £ 8 mmHg. A positive aspiration test indicated iatrogenic injury, whereas a positive result in any of the other tests indicated that the tip of the needle was correctly positioned in the peritoneal cavity. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the tests were calculated by correlating results considered true positives (a), false positives (b), false negatives (c) and true negatives (d), according to the formulas: SE = [a/(a + c)] x 100; SP = [d/(b + d)] x 100; PPV = [a/(a + b)] x 100; NPV = [d(c + d)] x 100. RESULTS: With regard to the aspiration test, SE and PPV were not applicable, SP was 100 percent and NPV was 100 percent. With regard to the injection test, SE was 0 percent, SP was 100 percent, PPV was inexistent and NPV was 90 percent. Both recovery and saline drop tests yielded the following results: SE was 50 percent, SP was 100 percent, PPV was 100 percent and NPV was 94.7 percent. The initial intraperitoneal pressure test yielded the following results: SE, SP, PPV and NPV were 100 percent. CONCLUSIONS: When inserting the Veress needle into the left hypochondrium, a negative aspiration test guarantees...
RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Avaliar provas de posicionamento da agulha de Veress introduzida no hipocôndrio esquerdo para criação de pneumoperitônio. MÉTODOS: Cem pacientes foram submetidos a laparoscopia com punção no hipocôndrio esquerdo. Provas de posicionamento da agulha foram avaliadas. A prova da aspiração foi considerada positiva quando sugava-se material orgânico; a prova da resistência foi considerada positiva quando apenas pouca pressão à infusão de líquido era observada; a prova de recuperação foi considerada positiva quando o líquido infundido não era recuperado; a prova do gotejamento foi considerada positiva quando gotas depositadas na agulha escoavam rapidamente; a prova da pressão intraperitoneal inicial foi considerada positiva quando os níveis observados eram d" 8 mmHg. Uma prova de aspiração positiva indicava iatrogenia, ao passo que resultados positivos em todas as outras provas indicavam que a ponta da agulha estava adequadamente posicionada na cavidade peritoneal. Foram calculadas a sensibilidade (S), especificidade (E), valores preditivos positivos (VPP) e negativos (VPN) das provas, mediante correlação dos resultados verdadeiro-positivos (a), falso-positivos (b), falso-negativos (c) e verdadeiro-negativos (d), segundo as fórmulas: S = [a/(a + c)] x 100; E = [d/(b + d)] x 100; VPP = [a/(a + b)] x 100; VPN = [d(c + d)] x 100. RESULTADOS: Na prova da aspiração, constatou-se que S e VPP não puderam ser aplicados, e que E = 100 por cento e VPN = 100 por cento. Na prova da resistência, S = 0 por cento, E = 100 por cento, VPP = não existiu e VPN = 90 por cento. Tanto na prova da recuperação como na do gotejamento, S = 50 por cento, E = 100 por cento, VPP = 100 por cento e VPN = 94,7 por cento. Na da pressão inicial, S, E, VPP e VPN = 100 por cento. CONCLUSÕES: Na punção no hipocôndrio esquerdo, um resultado negativo na prova da aspiração garante ausência de iatrogenia; a prova da resistência não indica com certeza o mau posicionamento...
