Popis: Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is commonly indicated in morbidly obese patients. There is controversy regarding the hemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum (PNP) in obese patients. PNP and changes in body posture have complex effects on venous return that may be detected by respiratory changes in the arterial pressure waveform. The aim of this study was to compare pneumoperitoneum-induced and reverse Trendelenburg (RT) changes in arterial pulse pressure in obese and normal-weight patients. Methods: 15 morbidly obese patients undergoing LAGB were compared to 15 normal-weight patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Arterial pressure was non-invasively recorded using an arterial tonometer. Respiratory changes in pulse pressure (ΔPp) were recorded in the supine position without and with PNP, and in RT position with pneumoperitoneum. Results: PNP increased ΔPp values in normal weight (P
