Patient-specific benefit of laparoscopic surgery:
Shorter recovery time
Better clinical outcomes
Decrease postoperative pain
Decrease medical risk
Anesthesiologist-specific benefit of laparoscopic surgery:
Shorter recovery time
Better clinical outcomes
Decrease postoperative pain
Decrease medical risk
Surgeon-specific disadvantage of laparoscopic surgery:
Increase risk of PONV
Shorter operating times
Limited access to patient
Ergonomics
Sharp, multiport, one-way conduits used to insufflate gas and to guide various specialized surgical instruments:
Trocar
Laparoscope
Veress needle
Da Vinci Surgical System
True about the use of carbon dioxide in laparoscopic surgeries:
Highly insoluble in blood
Oxidizing
Inflammable
Nonoxidizing
Primary force/s responsible for much of the physiologic derangement:
Direct mechanical stress
Neuroendocrine stimulation
Both of the above
None of the above
This position may augment venous return and cardiac filling during pneumoperitoneum:
Reverse trendelenburg
Steep trendelenburg
Left lateral decubitus
Right lateral decubitus
Intraabdominal pressure produced during pneumoperitoneum is known to:
Reduce hepatic vein flow
Increase hepatic vein flow
Change nothing in the hepatic vein flow
Disadvantageous during laparoscopic hepatic transection surgery
True regarding nitrous oxide, EXCEPT:
N2O is avoided due to a potentially greater risk of PONV
N2O is not known to support combustion during a spark ignition
During an N2O-based anesthetic, N2O has been shown to accumulate in the peritoneal cavity to combustion levels as early as 30 minutes to as late as 2 hours
None of the above
Subcutaneous emphysema is the inadvertent introduction of CO2 gas into subcutaneous, preperitoneal, or retroperitoneal tissue leads to trapped gas pockets. The following risk factors for subcutaneous emphysema are all true, EXCEPT:
Shorter operative times (less than 200 minutes)
Greater number of surgical ports
Lower BMI, older patient
Higher IAP, higher insufflation flow rates
