Effects of esmolol on haemodynamic response to CO2 pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery
Background: Carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery increases arterial pressures, systemic vascular resistance and heart rate and decreases urine output. Methods: In this double‐blind randomized study esmolol, an ultrashort‐acting β1‐adrenoceptor antagonist was compared with p...

Summary: | Background: Carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery increases arterial pressures, systemic vascular resistance and heart rate and decreases urine output.
Methods: In this double‐blind randomized study esmolol, an ultrashort‐acting β1‐adrenoceptor antagonist was compared with physiological saline (control) in 28 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in standardized 1 MAC isoflurane anaesthesia. Alfentanil infusion was used to prevent the increase of mean arterial pressure more than 25% from baseline.
Results: Esmolol effectively prevented the pressor response to induction and maintenance of CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Significantly (P |
