BACKGROUND: Videosurgery can bring complications with it´s manipulation and among them the hyperpression into the abdominal cavity is important factor. AIM: To analyze the pneumoperitoneum effects in an endotoxemia experimental model caused by lipopolyssacharide. METHOD: Thirty-two Wistar rats were utilized, from which blood was collected 24 hours prior to the experiment for the initial evaluations of the renal function, the hepatic function and the endotoxic state (total counts and differential of leukocytes, platelet count and dosages of lipopolyssacharide, TNFα, IL6). The rats were then separated into four groups of eight: control groups inoculated with lipopolyssacharide (10 mg/kg via intraperitoneum) and kept for four and 11 hours (C-LPS4 and C-LPS11). Group C-PP, control of pneumoperitoneum by carbon dioxide at 10 mmHg for one hour and kept under observation for six hours. Experiment group (E) in which the rats were inoculated with 10 mg/kg of lipopolyssacharide via intraperitoneum and after four hours were submitted to pneumoperitoneum by carbon dioxide at 10 mmHg for one hour and kept under observation for six hours. At the end of these periods, blood samples were collected for the same initial evaluations. The T-student method was utilized for statistical comparisons of results, with a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: Compared to the initial values and the control groups, Group E had higher values in the renal function tests (creatinine=0.85 ± 0.24 and urea=106.38 ± 37.61 mg/dL). In the hepatic function tests, there were higher values in the dosages of direct bilirubin (0.34 ± 0.09mg/dL), ALT (390,38 ± 351.88) and TAP (17.01 ± 2.18). The endotoxic state was confirmed by the dosages of IL6 (36.0 ± 11.23 pg/mL), TNFα (518.36 ± 203.39 pg/mL) and by the hematological alterations: reduction of platelets, increased leukocytes and band neutrophils and the detection of circulating endotoxin (0.21 ± 0.08 UE/mL). CONCLUSION: Pneumoperitoneum by carbon dioxide induces increase of TNFα, IL6, worsens the hepatic and renal function in the experimental endotoxemia model induced by lipopolyssacharide.
