Why the study?
Does extraperitoneal CO2 insufflation increase pulmonary CO2 elimination more than intraperitoneal CO2 insufflation in patients undergoing surgical procedures?
Population
30 patients undergoing surgical procedures under general anesthesia with controlled mechanical ventilation
Comparison
Extraperitoneal CO2 insufflation vs Intraperitoneal CO2 insufflation
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Intraoperative

Extraperitoneal insufflation markedly elevates CO2 elimination versus intraperitoneal; hypothesis-generating for adjusted ventilation but should not yet change practice.
Does extraperitoneal CO2 insufflation increase pulmonary CO2 elimination more than intraperitoneal CO2 insufflation in patients undergoing surgical procedures?
CO2 diffusion into the body is significantly more marked during extraperitoneal than during intraperitoneal CO2 insufflation, independent of the duration of intraperitoneal insufflation.
Mullet et al. (1993) studied this question.
