The significance of the Trendelenburg test [PDF]
Trendelenburg's test of function of the hip joint was first reported before radiology was available. At least four methods of performing it have since been described in the literature. We examined 50 normal subjects and 103 people with disorders affecting either the spine or the hip, in order to determine the different responses that occurred when ...

The steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum during surgery may affect intracranial pressure and cerebral oxygenation, which in turn may affect the values of the bispectral index (BIS).

Arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure gradient increases with age in the steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum [PDF]
BackgroundSeveral factors affect the end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) and increase the arterial to end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure gradient (Pa-ETCO2) during general anesthesia.

Robotic prostatectomy: the anesthetist's view for robotic urological surgeries, a prospective study
Background and objectives: Although many features of robotic prostatectomy are similar to those of conventional laparoscopic urological procedures (such as laparoscopic prostatectomy), the procedure is associated with some drawbacks, which include ...

Renal injury after open versus laparoscopic non-cardiac surgery: a retrospective cohort analysis
Background: Laparoscopic surgical approaches enhance recovery, reduce postoperative pain, and shorten hospital length-of-stay. Nevertheless, increased intra-abdominal pressure is associated with decreased renal blood flow, renal hypoxia and acute kidney ...

Comparison of Change in Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure during Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgeries in Different Positions: A Prospective Observational Study [PDF]
Introduction: Laparoscopic abdominal surgeries involve the creation of pneumoperitoneum along with specific patient positioning, both of which can significantly affect respiratory mechanics and airway pressures. These changes may alter Endotracheal Tube (

Effect of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure on the Sonographic Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter as a Surrogate for Intracranial Pressure during Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can increase intracranial pressure. Pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position are associated with an increased intracranial pressure.
