Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of low abdominal pressure vs. standard abdominal pressure on the cardiac and respiratory function of the patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery in Trendelenberg position. It was also designed to evaluate the effect of the degree of neuromuscular blockade on the surgical condition of the patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery in Trendelenberg position.

Interventions

DEVICEStandard abdominal pressure

Abdominal pressure maintained 12mmHg throughout laparoscopic colon surgery

DEVICELow abdominal pressure

DRUGConventional neuromuscular blockade

Anesthesia induction with rocuronium 0.4mg/kg and maintenance with rocuronium 0.15mg/kg to maintain TOF 1-2 twitch

Anesthesia induction with rocuronium 0.8mg/kg → maintenance with rocuronium 0.3mg/kg to maintain PTC 1-2 twitch
