We have measured, in 21 horizontal and 18 25° head-down anaesthetized, artificially ventilated patients, the effea of progressive increases of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) before, during and after laparoscopy, on: CVP, intrathoracic pressure (ITP), femoral venous pressure (FVP), cardiac output (Q), heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), peak airway pressure, FF/QO, and arterial blood-gas tensions. FVP paralleled the increase of IAP. In both horizontal and tilted patients increases of IAP to around 20 cm H,0 were accompanied by increases of CVP (horizontal: 4.6 cm H3O; tilted: 10.2 cm H,O), by smaller increases of ITP (horizontal: 1.8 cm 11,0; tilted: 32 cm H,O), and by increases of Q (from 3.9 l./min per 70 kg to 5.0 l./min per 70 kg in horizontal position; and from 4.8 L/min per 70 kg to 5.3 L/min per 70 kg in tilted patients). Greater increases of IAP to around 40 cm HjO were accompanied by falls of CVP and Cj (to 4.4 l./min per 70 kg in both positions), accompanied by parallel changes of MAP and by moderate tachycardia. There was no arterial hypoxaemia, Pao* rising from 132.0 mm Hg to 135.4 mm Hg in the horizontal patients, and from 151.3 mm Hg to 155.2 mm Hg in the tilted patients; increases of Paoo3 were slight (from 28.6 mm Hg to 32.4 mm Hg in the horizontal patients, and from 25.3 to 30.9 mm Hg in the tilted patients).
