Hemodynamic changes during cholecystectomy with the use of laparolift method

: The study was carried out in 17 randomly chosen patients who were subjected to cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with the use of laparolift method. Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, wedge pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure, central venous pressure and stroke volume were analyzed in the five following stages of the procedure. The performed examinations showed the transient increase of the pressures in peripheral and pulmonary vascular system as well as heart rate acceleration--during the operation and the increase of cardiac output in postoperative period. The observed changes did not need therapeutic interventions in any case. The obtained results prove that applied operative technique caused no dangerous side effects.
