Right vs left side thoracoscopic sympathectomy: effects of CO2 insufflation on haemodynamics
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to left side TS (thoracoscopic sympathectomy), direct compression by CO2 against the venae cava and right atrium and ventricle during right side TS caused reduction of the venous return and hence low CO (cardiac output), CI (cardiac index) and SV (stroke volume).
