Brief summary

Laparoscopic surgeries require pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position, which may lead to increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement via ultrasound is a non-invasive method to evaluate ICP. This prospective study aims to compare the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on ONSD in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in the Trendelenburg position.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the ONSD values measured by ultrasound between the sevoflurane and desflurane groups.

Interventions

DRUGSevoflurane

Anesthesia maintenance will be provided with sevoflurane at 1 MAC in a 40% oxygen-air mixture.

DRUGDesflurane

Anesthesia maintenance will be provided with desflurane at 1 MAC in a 40% oxygen-air mixture.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineONSD measured by transorbital ultrasound with a 7.5-15 MHz linear probe, 3.0 mm behind the posterior globe wall, between the outer edges of the dural sheath. At least three measurements are obtained from each eye and averaged.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineMean arterial pressure will be measured via non-invasive blood pressure monitoring or invasive radial artery cannulation.
Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineOxygen saturation will be monitored continuously using pulse oximetry.
End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO2)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineEnd-tidal carbon dioxide levels will be measured using capnography monitoring.
Arterial pHT1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineArterial pH levels will be evaluated from arterial blood gas analysis samples.
Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (pCO2)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supinepCO2 levels will be evaluated from arterial blood gas analysis samples.
Change in optic nerve sheath diameter between consecutive study phases (Δ ONSD)T1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineWithin-patient change in ONSD between consecutive time points (Δ T1-T2, Δ T2-T3, Δ T3-T4, Δ T4-T5) and across the whole procedure (Δ T1-T4, Δ T1-T5), compared between the sevoflurane and desflurane groups.
Arterial lactateT1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supineArterial lactate measured from arterial blood gas samples.
Peak airway pressureT1: after intubation, before 1.0 MAC (supine); T2: on reaching 1.0 MAC (supine); T3: 10 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T4: 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg; T5: 10 min after desufflation, supinePeak inspiratory airway pressure recorded from the anaesthesia ventilator.
