Anästhesie in der Urologie - Anästhesie bei roboterassistierter Prostatektomie

摘要

Because of excellent results, high patient satisfaction, and extraordinary surgical conditions robotic assisted prostatectomies have found a wide spread acceptance. Trendelenburg positioning, CO2-Insufflation, and installation of the robot system cause moderate hemodynamic and respiratory changes. Respiration can be compromised by significantly reduced pulmonary compliance during surgery and a marked CO2 load. Therefore, arterial blood gas controls during surgery can be recommended. Over hours edema of head and neck including the upper airways and an increase of the intraocular pressure can develop. There are no restrictions in the choice of the anesthetics. Careful positioning of the patient and critical intravenous fluid management are important determinants of a successful anesthetic management.
