Monitoring for Laparoscopic Surgery

Department of Anesthesiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences, Los Angeles, CA

Laparoscopy has come to be used for a large variety of surgical procedures. This has necessarily led to its use in patients who have a variety of interrelated diseases. While the postoperative course tends to be more benign than in traditional "open" procedures, the intraoperative period may be even more stressful to the patient from a physiological perspective. Use of sophisticated monitoring techniques in selected patients can help yield the optimal postoperative outcome.

Key Words: Laparoscopy • invasive monitoring • general anesthesia.
