Event Description
|
It was reported that the anaesthetist experienced problems during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Within the first two minutes, tachycardia and a fall in blood pressure was observed with low output.It was further reported that a severe hypotension out of proportion compared with the usual hypotension due to pneumoperitoneum.The company representative assumed that the patient was tied.Once the surgeon started the dissection no hemodynamic problems; very stable.The customer reports acute respiratory increase peak pressure 15mmhg, without cause, immediately afterwards co2 drop so again with acute drop in blood pressure of 130/85 to 50/35.The customer reports that this could however not be explained by a newly constructed pneumoperitoneum.'the customer reports that the surgeon was informed, no changes in intra -abdominal pressure.However, the customer reports it is inevitable that there are strong increase in intra- abdominal pressure occurred; supposedly seen big swings and blood pressure ventilation pressures clearly.The customer reports that this can be allegedly observed from the trends in the anesthesia file.The customer reports that there are to their knowledge no complications occurred in the patient due to these two phases of low acute venous return with low output as a result.The customer reports that these could not be anticipated and not in relation with a new installed pneumoperitoneum of 14mmhg.The customer reports that the combination of changes both airway pressure and decreased venous return indicate that the insufflator allegedly realized a higher pressure and showed on the screen.

The reported device was not received for investigation; therefore the reported failure cannot be confirmed.The complaint will be closed without a detailed investigation report and based on probable root cause.In the event that the device is received, the complaint will be reopened, a full evaluation will be conducted, and the investigation will be updated with the new results.Probable root cause for the reported failure involving this device could have been probably caused by: bad lpu/hpu, bad pressure sensors or pressure control valves, use error, over due for calibration.In sum, the reported failure could not be confirmed since the device was not received at stryker endoscopy for investigation.
