Effects of carbon dioxide insufflation for laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the respiratory system

open access: yesAnaesthesia, 1996
Summary The changes occurring in total respiratory system, lung and chest wall mechanics, lung volume and gas‐exchange during abdominal insufflation with carbon dioxide for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were studied. Using the technique of rapid airway occlusion during constant flow inflation together with an oesophageal balloon, we ...

Endoscopic vein harvesting with the aid of carbon dioxide insufflation

open access: yesThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2001
Endoscopic harvesting of the long saphenous vein has been introduced to decrease the morbidity of obtaining venous conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting. Herein is described an endoscopic method using carbon dioxide insufflation into the tissues around the vein. This has several advantages; improved vision, no physical retraction required, easier

Renal Effects of Carbon Dioxide Insufflation in Rabbit Pneumoretroperitoneum Model

open access: yesJournal of Endourology, 1998
To determine the effects of carbon dioxide insufflation on renal function in a pneumoretroperitoneum model, 24 adult New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups, six rabbits in each. The first group underwent a 2-hour CO2 insufflation at a pressure of 10 mm Hg in the retroperitoneal space after balloon dissection.

The effects of retroperitoneal carbon dioxide insufflation on hemodynamics and arterial carbon dioxide

The American Journal of Surgery, 1999
Laparoscopic techniques are being increasingly used for retroperitoneal surgery. However, hemodynamic and ventilatory efforts of retroperitoneal carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation have not been studied. We hypothesized that differences in absorptive surface, anatomy, and compartment compliance could result in different hemodynamic and ventilatory ...

Carbon dioxide insufflation for more comfortable colonoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1984
Forty patients examined with the use of carbon dioxide insufflation during fiberoptic colonoscopy showed no significant residual gas on plain radiographs taken 30 minutes after the procedure. By contrast, 19 of 20 patients examined with air insufflation showed excessive distension of large and/or small intestine.

Magnetic resonance colonography with automated carbon dioxide insufflation: Diagnostic accuracy and distension

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Radiology, 2014
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of MR colonography using automated carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation for colonic distension, with colonoscopy serving as the reference standard.
