Effect of Lithotomy Position on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter

August 2, 2024 updated by: Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients Undergoing Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery in the Lithotomy Position

In this study, the effect of increased venous return and increased intra-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure in the lithotomy position was evaluated.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

In the lithotomy position, it is possible that venous return in the lower extremities increases and intra-abdominal pressure increases due to the position. At the same time, it is possible that the intracompartmental pressure in the extremities increases because the venous structure is compressed by placing the lower extremities on supports. Considering both conditions, it is predicted that there may be an increase in the optic nerve sheath diameter due to increased intracranial pressure in patients placed in the lithotomy position. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the position on intracranial pressure by ultrasonographically evaluating the optic nerve sheath diameter in the lithotomy position.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of lithotomy position on optic nerve sheath diameter
Time Frame: intraoperative and postoperative 10 minutes
In patients in the lithotomy position, the linear probe of the ultrasound will be placed on the patient's upper eyelid in a transverse and longitudinal manner without applying compression, and the optic nerve's entry into the orbit will be visualized and measured. The increase in the optic nerve sheath diameter will be recorded by measuring at 7 different times in total.Before general anesthesia (t1), 3 minutes (min.) (t2) and 5 min. (t3) after general anesthesia, 3 min. (t4) and 5 min. (t5) after lithotomy position was given, before lithotomy position was corrected (t6) and when 10 minutes after patients go to the recovery room (t7).
