| Abstract | A 38 yr-old man was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. General anesthesia was selected and induced. About 40 minutes after initiation of laparoscopic surgery a progressive tachycardia and hyperten- sion was noticed. We checked anesthetic machine, 02, inhalational anesthetics and appropriate position of tracheal tube. Then narcotic and muscle relaxant repeated but our efforts were ineffective. The operation ceased and when laparoscope was withdrawing it accidentally touched the anesthesiologist's hand. It was unexpectedly hot and heat injury supposed. The abdomen was opened immediately. Intraabdominal tem- perature was abnormally high and visceral organs were reddish and inflamed. After rapid irrigation of ab- domen with cold normal saline, tachycardia and hypertension regressed to normal situation and open cho- lecystectomy was down. | en |
