aumenta a causa de
la absorción de CO

desde la cavidad peritoneal. Este aumento de
la Paco
2
es aún mayor en los pacientes con alteraciones cardiorres-
piratorias, y en los pacientes cardíacos de alto riesgo las alteracio-
nes hemodinámicas se acentúan. El mejor conocimiento de los
trastornos hemodinámicos fisiopatológicos que se producen en las
personas sanas permite establecer técnicas anestésicas satisfacto-
rias a los enfermos cardíacos, optimizando la precarga antes de
iniciar el neumoperitoneo y utilizando con prudencia fármacos
vasodilatadores. No parece que el empleo de gases alternativos para
la insuflación (p. ej., He, Ar, N
2
O) reduzca los cambios hemodiná-
micos. La laparoscopia sin gas puede ser más útil, pero por desgra-
cia su dificultad técnica es mayor. En varias revisiones a gran escala
se ha establecido una incidencia de complicaciones que pueden
compararse favorablemente con las de la cirugía abierta. La mor-
talidad durante la intervención laparoscópica oscila en torno de
0,1-1 por 1.000 casos y la incidencia de complicaciones hemorrá-
gicas y lesiones viscerales es de 2-5 por 1.000 casos. Aunque no se
ha demostrado que ninguna técnica anestésica sea clínicamente
superior a las demás, parece que la anestesia general con ventila-
ción controlada es la más segura para la laparoscopia quirúrgica.
Un mejor conocimiento de las repercusiones intraoperatorias de la
laparoscopia permitirá un tratamiento más seguro de los pacientes
con enfermedades cardiorrespiratorias cada vez más graves, que
pueden beneficiarse de las múltiples ventajas postoperatorias de
esta técnica.
