Abstract
Pneumoperitoneum associated with carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation may induce alterations in electrocardiographic variables, which may produce severe atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.We now present a case in which atrial flutter developed after CO2 insufflation in a patient undergoing laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy.Although the ECG change was reversed after desufflation, one should keep in mind the increased propensity to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias during laparoscopy with high intra-abdominal pressure.
Key Words: Atrial flutter, Laparoscopy, Pneumoperitoneum
