Videoscopic surgery under local and regional anesthesia with helium abdominal insufflation

Abstract: Helium gas should be considered the agent of choice for intraperitoneal insufflation in high-risk patients not only because helium avoids the metabolic consequences of CO(2) insufflation but also because it permits selected procedures to be performed under local-regional anesthesia. Helium may be contraindicated for laparoscopic procedures involving extraperitoneal insufflation due to the increased risk for pneumothoraces.

“…Gandara et al 36 stated that, in addition to CO 2 absorption, this might be a phenomenon of tissue hypoperfusion. Nevertheless, in our study pO 2 was not affected by pneumoperitoneum in septic and non septic rats. This finding can be explained by the fact that pneumoperitoneum was performed with 3 mmHg pressure, sufficient to keep a normal and spontaneous respiration in rats.…”

“…Insufflation under a continuous monitoring of intraabdominal pressure throughout the surgical procedure provides adequate exposure of the operating field. As alternatives, different gases (e.g., helium, argon, nitrous oxide, air) may be used, but they have not been adopted clinically 1,2,3,4,5,6 . The actual knowledge concerning pneumoperitoneum are sometimes inconsistent about the physiologic consequences induced by insufflation of the peritoneal cavity with CO 2 .…”

“…Em pacientes com doença cardiorespiratória, estas alterações têm uma repercussão maior 1,12,14,16,22,23,26,29,32,33 . É conhecido que o CO 2 reduz o pH da superfície peritonial 25,34,35 , provocando mais dor quando comparado com outros gases 35,36 , fato que também implica na utilização de anestesia geral.…”

“…Assim, frente à necessidade de uma melhor alternativa em substituição ao pneumoperitônio de CO 2 , várias opções foram experimentadas, entre as quais pode-se citar a utilização de outros gases para insuflação da cavidade, como o hélio, o argônio e o óxido nitroso 2,8,9,12,14,15,23,32,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42 e até mesmo a suspensão mecânica da cavidade 8,11,16,20,24,33,43,44,45,46 . Esta última opção, apesar de não causar as alterações induzidas pelo pneumoperitônio, tem suas limitações 41,47 e não é amplamente empregada.…”
