The Effects of Steep Trendelenburg Positioning on Intraocular Pressure During Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

IOP reached peak levels at the end of steep Trendelenburg position (T5), on average 13 mm Hg higher than the preanesthesia induction (T1) value. Surgical duration and ETco(2) were the only significant predictors of IOP increase in the Trendelenburg position (T4-T5).
