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.

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.

IntroductionMaintaining normothermia during anesthesia is imperative to provide quality patient care and to prevent adverse outcomes. Prolonged laparoscopic procedures have been identified as a potential risk factor for hypothermia, due to continuous ...

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 ...

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.

Background and Aims: Not many studies have explored the correlation between arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (ETCO2) in surgeries requiring pneumoperitoneum of more than 1 hour duration with the patient in non ...

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.
