Abstract

Obesity affects respiratory and hemodynamic function in anesthetized patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on pulmonary changes in a permanent 45 degrees steep Trendelenburg position (STP) during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). 51 patients undergoing RALP under standardized anesthesia were included. Perioperative pulmonary function and oxygenation were measured in awake patients (T-0), 20 min after the induction of anesthesia (T-1), after insufflation of the abdomen in supine position (T-2), after 30 min in STP (T-3), when controlling Santorini's plexus in STP (T-4), before awakening while supine (T-5), and after 45 min in the recovery room (T-6). Patient-specific and time-dependent factor on ventilation and predicted peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), driving pressure (P-driv) and lung compliance (LC) in a linear regression model were calculated. PIP and P-driv increased significantly after induction of capnoperitoneum (T2-4) (p < 0.0001). In univariate mixed effects models, BMI was found to be a significant predictor for PIP and P-driv increase and LC decrease. Obese patients a BMI > 31 kg/m(2) reached critical PIP values >= 35 cmH(2)O. Postoperative oxygenation represented by the PaO2/FiO(2) ratio was significantly decreased compared to T-0 (p < 0.0001). Obesity in combination with STP and capnoperitoneum during RALP has a profound effect on pulmonary function. Increased PIP and P-driv and decreased LC are directly correlated with a high BMI. Changes in PIP, P-driv and LC during RALP may be predicted in relation to patient's BMI for consideration in the preoperative setting.
