Abstract

The physiological consequences of laparoscopy are related to the combined effects of elevated intraperitoneal pressure following carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation to create a pneumoperitoneum, effects of systemic absorption of carbon dioxide, and alteration of patient position. This chapter describes the pathopysiology and the effects of penumoperitoneum and the anesthesia management during laproscopic surgery.
