Pneumoperitoneum in Veterinary Laparoscopy: A Review
Objective: To review the effects of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy, evaluate alternative techniques to establishing a working space and compare this to current recommendations in veterinary surgery.

In laparoscopic surgery the abdominal cavity is insufflated with pressurized carbon dioxide gas to create workspace. This pressure is exerted through the diaphragm onto the lungs, competing with ventilation and hampering it.

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.

The transanal/perineal (ta/tp) endoscopic approach has been widely used for anorectal surgery in recent years, but carbon dioxide embolism is a possible lethal complication. The frequency of this complication in this approach is not known. In this study,

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.

Cardiovascular Effects of Peritoneal Insufflation of Carbon Dioxide for Laparoscopy [PDF]
We have investigated, in 13 artificially ventilated and anaesthetized patients, the cardiovascular effects of peritoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide preparatory to laparoscopy. Stepwise increases of intra-abdominal pressure up to a maximum of 25 cm H 2 O were accompanied by increases of ...

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.
