Intraocular Pressure and Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Changes at Different PEEP Levels

November 22, 2021 updated by: Ruslan Abdullayev, Marmara University

Intraocular Pressure and Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Changes at Different Positive End-expiratory Pressure Applications in Laparotomic Surgery

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is sometimes used during perioperative period, as it has favourable effects on lung mechanics. Unfortunately, it has some negative effects on the patients, like increased intraabdominal, intrathoracic, intracranial and intraocular pressures. In this study the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of different PEEP levels on the patients' intraocular and intracranial pressures. Intraocular pressure will be measured by ocular tonometry, and intracranial pressure will be estimated by optic nerve sheath diameter measurement. The measurements will be performed in the operating room in the patients undergoing laparotomic surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in intraocular pressure
Time Frame: Throughout the operation (usually about 1.5 hours).
The physiological value for intraocular pressure is 10-20 mm Hg. Changes in intraocular pressure will be observed throughout the surgery, as will its relationship with the positive end-expiratory pressure application.
Throughout the operation (usually about 1.5 hours).
Changes in optic nerve sheath diameter
Time Frame: Throughout the operation (usually about 1.5 hours).
Changes in optic nerve sheath diameter will be observed throughout the surgery, as will its relationship with the positive end-expiratory pressure application.
Throughout the operation (usually about 1.5 hours).
