Abstract
For endoscopic thoraco-lumbar spine fusion, CO2-thoraco-retroperitoneum-ind uced cardio-pulmonary dysfunction must be of major concern, especially in p atients with cardiopulmonary compromise. Appropriate monitoring and immedia te CO2-desufflation in case of therapy-resistent hemodynamic, oxygenation a nd ventilation difficulties are recommended.
