Effects of Steep Trendelenburg Positioning on Intra-Ocular Pressure During Surgery For Endometrial Cancer: Robotics Versus Laparotomy

All patients that are surgical candidates with endometrial cancer will be screened for this
study. Two measurements from each eye will be taken in the following positions: awake at
rest, supine before induction, after induction on anesthesia, after insufflation of abdomen
with CO2 in supine position, in trendelenburg position, in deep trendelenburg position,at
the end of procedure,prior to awakening in supine position and one last reading 45-60 min
after awakening in supine position. The time, blood pressure, heart rate, peak airway
pressure, plateau airway pressure, end tidal desflurane, end tidal CO2, total IV fluids
administered, and blood loss.
