摘要
To study the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum and the special 30 degree head-down tilt positionon the venous hemodynamics in the lower extremity. Methods: Color doplex ultrasound was adopted to evaluate the diameterand blood flow velocity of the right femoral vein of 18 patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy under the same pressure ofpneumoperitoneum of 12 mmHg. The diameter of femoral vein and the flow velocity were measured; the blood flow volumewas calculated based on the equation of Q = vπr2 . Result: After establishment of pneumoperitoneum, the dilation of the fem-oral vein and the decrease in the velocity and volume can be observed (P ＜ 0.05). And the 30 degree head-down positioncould increase the flow velocity and volume of the femoral vein and decrease the diameter of the vessel ( P ＜ 0.05). At 30minutes of the 30 degree head-down tilt position, the blood flow ameliorated compared with that in prone position after theestablishment of pneumoperitoneum. After deflation of pneumoperitoneum, the femoral vein remained dilated( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion: During laparoscopy, CO2 pneumoperitoneum may result in the dilation of the vein in lower extremity and retar-dance of blood flow. The 30 degree Trendlenburg position can ameliorate the blood flow in the lower extremity. The deflationof the pneumoperitoneum cannot eliminate the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the lower extremity veins, which may pre-dispose deep venous thrombosis after laparoscopy.
