Abstract: Background: Obesity is a chronic disease and has become the most prevalent public health problem worldwide. The impact of obesity on knee is strong and the BMI is correlated with the different alterations. Aim: Compare surgical visualization of arthroscopic field in partial meniscectomy in obese and non-obese. Method: Sixty patients were selected, 30 obese and 30 non-obese who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. The arthroscopic surgical procedures were recorded and analyzed. For the analysis of visua… Show more

“…Then the mechanical irrigation-pump (Synergy ® , Arthrex, Germany) was started at 20 mmHg pressure to inflate the joint space with 0.9% saline solution. The surgeon then estimated the visibility of the surgical field (Grade I: excellent, Grade II: good, Grade III: reasonable, Grade IV: poor) [ 16 , 17 ]. Subsequently, the pressure was freely adjusted by the surgeon to obtain clear vision with the arthroscope during the surgery.…”

“…However, some studies have reported that desflurane can increase sympathetic nerve activity, and plasma catecholamine release more than other inhalation anesthetic agents [ 10 , 11 ]. High level of plasma catecholamine is associated with increased blood flow in several tissues and stimulates fibrinolytic activity [ 12 16 ]. Therefore, during arthroscopic surgery, desflurane may theoretically cause more bleeding in articular spaces and may need a higher irrigation-pump pressure to achieve clear vision in the surgical site than with other inhalation agents.…”
