Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Microvascular reactivity in selected muscles (i.e. microhemodynamics): desaturation/resaturation rates in NIRS (measured by INVOS system) during/after vascular occlusion tests (before general anaesthesia, 5 minutes after intubation, 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum) 2. Standard macrohemodynamic parameters (blood pressure measured non-invasively by arm cuff and heart rate measured by ECG) correlation with desaturation/resaturation rates in NIRS (measured by INVOS system) during/after vascular occlusion tests (before general anaesthesia, 5 minutes after intubation, 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum) 3. Upper vs lower body desaturation/resaturation rates in NIRS (measured by INVOS system) during/after vascular occlusion tests (before general anaesthesia, 5 minutes after intubation, 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Other NIRS (measured by INVOS system) parameters: minimal tissue saturation, maximal tissue saturation and rate of return to baseline during/after vascular occlusion tests (before general anaesthesia, 5 minutes after intubation, 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum) 2. Surgical stress response as assessed by stress hormone levels in venous blood samples taken at baseline and after the last vascular occlusion test 3. Postoperative pain (measured by Visual Analogue Scale at rest and during coughing) and analgesic consumption at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4. hours and 24 hours after extubation 4. Sevoflurane consumption per minute between the the second and third vascular occlusion test 5. Vasoactive drugs and fluids consumption by the end of the last vascular occlusion test and during the whole surgery 6. Blood pressure measured non-invasively by arm cuff and heart rate measured by ECG and peripheral saturation at the three designated measurement points (before general anaesthesia, 5 minutes after intubation, 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum) 7. Potential rescue managements during the study protocol and within the duration of surgery 8. Patient satisfaction collected via anonymous questionnaire 24 hours after the surgery
