Intra-abdominal CO2 insufflation may elevate venous/airway pressures with mild tachycardia; hypothesis-generating for hemodynamic safety in ventilated patients.
What are the cardiovascular effects of peritoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide during laparoscopy in artificially ventilated and anaesthetized patients?
Peritoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide up to 25 cm H2O during laparoscopy causes mild cardiovascular stimulation but does not impose undue strain on the cardiovascular system in anaesthetized patients.
Smith et al. (1971) studied this question.
