Steep Trendelenburg Position

(1) Background: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is preferred over open prostatectomy because it offers superior surgical outcomes and better postoperative recovery. The steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum required in Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, however, increase intracranial pressure (ICP). The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of elevated ICP on the quality of emergence from anesthesia. (2) Methods: Sixty-seven patients undergoing RALP were enrolled. We measured optic nerve sheath diameter at four timepoints during surgery. Primary outcome was inadequate emergence in the operating room (OR). Secondary outcomes were postoperative neurologic deficits of dizziness, headache, delirium, cognitive dysfunction, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). (3) Results: A total of 69 patients were screened for eligibility and 67 patients completed the study and were included in the final analysis. After establishing pneumoperitoneum with the Trendelenburg position, ONSD increased compared to baseline by 11.4%. Of the 67 patients, 36 patients showed an increase of 10% or more in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). Patients with ΔONSD ≥ 10% experienced more inadequate emergence in the OR than those with ΔONSD < 10% (47.2% vs. 12.9%, p = 0.003). However, other variables related to the quality of emergence from anesthesia did not different significantly between groups. Similarly, neurologic deficits, and PONV during postoperative day 3 showed no significant differences. (4) Conclusions: ICP elevation detected by ultrasonographic ONSD measurement was associated with a transient, inadequate emergence from anesthesia.

Abstract Background.  Cryptococcal meningitis is associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP). Therapeutic lumbar puncture (LP) is recommended when the initial ICP is &gt;250 mm H2O, yet the availability of manometers in Africa is limited and not always used where available. We assessed whether intraocular pressure could be a noninvasive surrogate predictor to determine when additional therapeutic LPs are necessary. Methods.  Ninety-eight human immunodeficiency virus-infected Ugandans with suspected meningitis (81% Cryptococcus) had intraocular pressure measured using a handheld tonometer (n = 78) or optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured by ultrasound (n = 81). We determined the diagnostic performance of these methods for predicting ICP vs a standard manometer. Results.  The median ICP was 225 mm H2O (interquartile range [IQR], 135–405 mm H2O). The median intraocular pressure was 28 mm Hg (IQR, 22–37 mm Hg), and median ultrasound ONSD was 5.4 mm (IQR, 4.95–6.1 mm). ICP moderately correlated with intraocular pressure (ρ = 0.45, P &lt; .001) and with ultrasound ONSD (ρ = 0.44, P &lt; .001). There were not discrete threshold cutoff values for either tonometry or ultrasound ONSD that provided a suitable cutoff diagnostic value to predict elevated ICP (&gt;200 mm H2O). However, risk of elevated ICP &gt;200 mm H2O was increased with an average intraocular pressure &gt;28 mm Hg (relative risk [RR] = 3.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55–5.92; P &lt; .001) or an average of ONSD &gt;5 mm (RR = 2.39; 95% CI, 1.42–4.03; P = .003). As either intraocular pressure or ONSD increased, probability of elevated ICP increased (ie, positive predictive value increased). Conclusions.  Noninvasive intraocular pressure measurements by tonometry or ultrasound correlate with cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure, but both are a suboptimal replacement for actual ICP measurement with a manometer.

Background. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP) can increase intracranial pressure (ICP) related to a change in position. Increasing ICP may result in various ocular complications, which are rare but serious, such as a corneal abrasion and ischemic optic neuropathy. We performed a prospective observational trial using ultrasonographic measurements to compare optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) related to ICP between patients who received either propofol or sevoflurane and underwent RLRP. Methods. Thirty-two male patients scheduled to undergo RLRP were assigned into groups according to the anesthetic agent used (group P: propofol, n = 16; group S: sevoflurane, n = 16). ONSD, end-tidal partial pressure of CO2, and blood pressure were measured 10 min after induction of anesthesia (T0), 30 min (T1), 60 min (T2), and 90 min after changing to the steep Trendelenburg position and introducing a pneumoperitoneum (T3) and 10 min after returning the patient’s position to supine (T4) during surgery. Results. No significant differences were observed in the demographic data of the patients, surgery time, or intraoperative variables, including hemodynamic and respiratory variables, at any of the time points. The mean right ONSDs in the propofol and sevoflurane groups were 37.3 and 40.1 mm at 30 min (p=0.003), respectively. The mean left ONSDs were 38.4 and 40.8 mm at 30 min (p=0.021) after changing to the Trendelenburg position. The ONSDs between the two groups were significantly different during surgery. Conclusions. ONSD increased more in the sevoflurane group than in the propofol group during RLRP. Intravenous anesthetics could alleviate the increase in ICP during RLRP.
