Venous hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate changes of venous hemodynamics during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods A total of 25 cases of LC was included in the study.A Doppler ultrasonography of the lower limb veins was performed in all the patients to exclude those with abnormal veins or thrombosis.During the LC,the diameter and venous flow volume of the femoral vein were measured under Doppler ultrasonography.Measurements were obtained at three different times:after the induction of anesthesia but prior to the creation of the pneumoperitoneum,during the pneumoperitoneum,and after abdominal deflation but prior to the reversal of anesthesia.Results All the operations were successfully completed.The mean operation time was 45 min(range,30～70 min).No intraoperative hemorrhage or bile duct complications occurred.No conversion to open surgery was required.All the patients were dismissed from hospital on the first postoperative day.After the establishment of the pneumoperitoneum,the cross-sectional area of the femoral vein was increased from 0.94?0.18 cm2 to 1.12?0.23 cm2(q=3.919,P0.05).The venous flow was significantly increased from 7.62?0.72 cm3/s to 9.65?0.63 cm3/s(q=12.971,P
