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.

Optimization of carbon dioxide insufflation strategies in minimally invasive cardiac surgery: the efficacy of continuous insufflation protocols with left ventricular venting [PDF]
Objectives Although CO₂ insufflation play an established role in open-heart surgery, its optimal application in minimally invasive cardiac procedures remains unclear.

Surgical field visualization and feasibility of accessory lung lobectomy using a pretied ligature loop via single incision thoracoscopy in canine cadavers [PDF]
IntroductionThoracoscopic surgery is a widely accepted minimally invasive technique in veterinary medicine. However, its application in small dogs is limited by the narrow thoracic space, difficulty accessing midline structures, and the requirement for ...

Surgical workspace in porcine thoracoscopy with two-lung ventilation. [PDF]
In neonatal and pediatric thoracoscopy, two-lung ventilation is often used due to the size constraints of double-lumen tubes or selective bronchial blockers.
