Background: This study aimed by means of transesophageal echocardiography, to evaluate
hemodynamic changes induced by pneumoperitoneum in patients with normal cardiac …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the utility of the
transesophageal echo-Doppler device in evaluating hemodynamic changes during …

Results: There was significant fall in cardiac output (CO)(45%, P< 0.001), stroke volume
(SV)(42%, P< 0.001), and ejection fraction (EF)(31.8% change, P< 0.001) after creation of …

Although pneumoperitoneum has been well tolerated in a predominantly healthy population,
there is concern that an increased intraperitoneal pressure may be poorly tolerated in …

A pilot study aimed to introduce intraoperative monitoring of liver surgery using
transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is described. A set of TEE measurements was …

BACKGROUND: Because the abdominal insufflation and desufflation associated with
laparoscopic procedures may adversely effect a compromised myocardium, patients with …

Objective: to demonstrate hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in
elderly patients with trans-esophageal echocardiography. Methods: we studied 31 elderly …

Currently used monitoring techniques, such as measurements of blood pressure and heart
rate, provide incomplete information about cardiac function during surgery. Invasive …

Background: Transesophageal echocardiography allows a semi-invasive hemodynamic
monitoring, during cardiac and non cardiac surgery. The benefits of such surveillance must …

We have measured cardiovascular changes associated with insufflation of carbon dioxide
and the reverse Trendelenburg position during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, using trans …
