Insufflation of Carbon Dioxide versus Air During Colonoscopy Among Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials [PDF]
Background/Aims: Carbon dioxide is increasingly used in insufflation during colonoscopy in adult patients; however, air insufflation remains the primary practice among pediatric gastroenterologists.

CARBON DIOXIDE ELIMINATION DURING INSUFFLATION ANAESTHESIA
Carbon dioxide elimination during apnoea was measured in sixty patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy. Paralysis was maintained using suxamethonium after thiopentone induction of anaesthesia. In forty patients a 50 per cent mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen was insufflated by nylon catheter in the trachea at a rate of 10 l./min.

Circulatory and Respiratory Complications of Carbon Dioxide Insufflation [PDF]
<i>Background:</i> Although providing excellent outcome results, laparoscopy also induces particular pathophysiological changes in response to pneumoperitoneum. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of a CO<sub>2</sub> pneumoperitoneum can help minimize complications while profiting from the benefits of laparoscopic surgery without ...

Anesthetic Consideration for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy [PDF]
A recent achalasia guideline suggests that peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe option for achalasia that is as effective as Heller myotomy. It is recommended that POEM should be performed under general anesthesia.

Partial amniotic carbon dioxide insufflation for fetal surgery [PDF]
AbstractPartial amniotic carbon dioxide insufflation (PACI) involves insufflating the amniotic sac with carbon dioxide (CO2) and, in some cases, draining some of the amniotic fluid. The creation of a gaseous intra‐amniotic compartment improves visualization, even in the presence of limited bleeding, and creates the work space required for complex ...

Laparoscopy-Pneumothorax and Ocular Emphysema, A Rare Complication-A Case Report [PDF]
Occurrence of Pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and ocular emphysema is very rare, but developed under General Anaesthesia (GA) immediately after insufflation. A defect in the diaphragm may be the cause.

Medico-legal implications for carbon dioxide embolism during laparoscopic surgery: Two fatal cases
Carbon dioxide embolism is a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery resulting from direct intravascular carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation usually due to accidental organ or vessel injury during surgery.

Air and carbon dioxide volumes insufflated during colonoscopy [PDF]
During colonoscopy, air or carbon dioxide is insufflated to secure adequate visualization of the colon, and endoscopy trainees are reminded to use as little gas as possible to avoid patient discomfort. However, the volume of gas insufflated by endoscopists during colonoscopy is unknown.

Anesthesiologic effects of transperitoneal versus extraperitoneal approach during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: results of a prospective randomized study [PDF]
To compare the effects of CO(2) insufflation on hemodynamics and oxygen levels and on acid-base level during Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) with transperitoneal (TP) versus extra-peritoneal (EP ...
