About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Pneumoperitoneum focused on measuring women undergoing laparoscopic surgery for: hysterectomy, colpopexy, endometriosis, adhesions or myomas

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women/men planned to undergo a laparoscopic intervention for at least 1 hour and having signed the informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy
  • Immunodeficiency
  • Refuse or unable to sign informed consent
  • Chronic disease (i.e. COPD, Crohn, cardiac…)

Sites / Locations

  • UZ Leuven, campus Gasthuisberg

Experimental

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

4% oxygen

full conditioning

CO2 pneumoperitoneum

Arm Description

addition of 4% oxygen to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum

full conditioning of the peritoneal cavity by the laparoscopic gas: 4% oxygen, 10% nitrous oxide, humidification and set temperature of 32°C

standard laparoscopy with CO2 pneumoperitoneum

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

CO2 absorption
Measurement of end tidal CO2 during laparoscopic surgery; a decrease would improve safety (less hypercarbia)

Secondary Outcome Measures

hemodynamic alterations
control of other hemodynamic alterions during laparoscopic surgery.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
CO2 absorption from the pneumoperitoneum increases over time during laparoscopic procedures. Adding 4% of oxygen to the carbon dioxide was shown in rabbits to decrease CO2 resorbtion through prevention of mesothelial hypoxia. We want to prove this concept in human and expand it to the use of full conditioning.
Detailed Description
In order to confirm the animal data in the human, a first RCT was performed in which 20 women undergoing a laparoscopy for at least 60 minutes were randomised to a pneumoperitoneum with either 100% carbon dioxide or 96% carbon dioxide plus 4% of oxygen. Insufflation pressure and Trendelenburg were standardised at 15 mm Hg and 30° respectively. In a second trial women were randomized to either 100% carbon dioxide or 86% carbon dioxide plus 4% of oxygen + 10% nitrous oxide + humidification and set temperature of 32°C of the peritoneal cavity.
