Comparison of volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation during laparoscopic gastric banding in morbidly obese patients [PDF]
Background There are no guidelines on ventilation modes in morbidly obese patients. We investigated the effects of volume-controlled (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) on gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and cardiovascular responses in ...

Impact of the patient’s body position on the intraabdominal workspace during laparoscopic surgery [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The effects of the patient's body position on the intraabdominal workspace in laparoscopic surgery were analyzed. METHODS: The inflated volume of carbon dioxide was measured after insufflation to a preset pressure of 15 mmHg for 20 patients ...

Background: Carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation has been shown to be superior to air insufflation in colonoscopy, and double balloon enteroscopy. However, the value of CO2 insufflation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not ...

Thoracoscopic versus open repair of CDH in cardiovascular stable neonates [PDF]
Background: Thoracoscopic surgery is an increasingly popular surgical technique to repair congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). However, acidosis during surgery and the higher recurrence rate are considerable risk factors.

Comparison of a standard CO2 pressure pneumoperitoneum insufflator versus AirSeal™: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND: AirSeal™ is a novel class of valve-free insufflation system that enables a stable pneumoperitoneum with continuous smoke evacuation and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) recirculation during laparoscopic surgery.

Delayed subcutaneous emphysema in an acute weight loss female following robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted laparoscopy with the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) for insufflation is rapidly adopted procedure for gynecological surgery. Insufflation of the abdomen with CO2can potentially cause complications such as hypercarbia, subcutaneous emphysema

Effects of pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide and helium on renal function and morphology in rats [PDF]
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide and helium on renal function and morphology in a rat model. METHODS: Twenty four rats were randomized into three groups (n=8): gasless insufflation ('open', Pressure=0 mmHg), carbon

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.
