You are beginning a laparoscopic right colectomy in a 68-year-
old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and
diabetes mellitus. After you have obtained pneumoperitoneum,
you inspect the abdomen and are alerted by your anesthesia
colleagues that the patient is bradycardic to 38 beats/min and
hypotensive. What is the best first response to this situation? -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Desufflate the pneumoperitoneum and observe
for response.
Likely this initial bradycardia and hypotension following
insufflation is due to a vagal response from which the patient will
recover with desufflation of the abdomen.
In certain more debilitated patients, pneumoperitoneum is not
tolerated because of its cardiovascular and pulmonary effects,
and laparoscopic surgery cannot be safely performed.
