Comparison of fast and slow CO2 insufflation on hemodynamic parameters in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Key Points

• This study aims to compare the effects of fast and slow CO2 insufflation on hemodynamic parameters and pain levels in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients.
• Comparative analysis of fast versus slow CO2 insufflation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Measurement of hemodynamic parameters including heart rate and mean arterial pressure at specific intervals
• Assessment of post-operative shoulder pain and surgical site pain at various time points
• Fast CO2 insufflation led to higher heart rates and mean arterial pressures at specific intervals
• Increased shoulder and surgical site pain was reported at 4 hours post-surgery
• Other hemodynamic parameters and surgical site pain levels were similar in both groups at subsequent 12-hour intervals
