Some effects of the peritoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide at laparoscopy [PDF]
The pCO2 pH and minute volume in women undergoing general anesthesia and laparoscopy with and without controlled breathing are compared. CO2 was introduced at 2 liters per min initially then 400 ml per min to hold intra-abdominal pCO2 at 15-20 mm Hg.

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.

Re-insufflation after deflation of a pneumoperitoneum is a risk factor for CO embolism during laparoscopic prostatectomy -A case report- [PDF]
Although symptomatic carbon dioxide (CO2) embolism is rare, it recognized as a potentially fatal complication of laparoscopic surgery. Sudden hemodynamic instability could be a CO2 embolism especially during insufflation.

Pulmonary consequences of carbon dioxide insufflation for laparoscopic cholecystectomies [PDF]
Summary Twenty patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomies were studied for changes in thoracic and lung compliance at 5, 10 and 15mmHg of intra‐abdominal pressure. Fifteen mmHg of intra‐abdominal pressure decreased the thoracic and the lung static compliance by 49 and 39% respectively.

Comparison of Effect of Clonidine and Magnesium Sulphate on Attenuation of Haemodynamic Response to CO2 Pneumoperitoneum in Patients undergoing Laparoscopic Surgeries- A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Introduction: Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive technique causes several physiological fluctuations. There can be deleterious sympathetic responses during Carbon Dioxide (CO2) insufflation, which is done to create a pneumoperitoneum.
