Abstract
We aimed to conduct independent testing of the Fisher & Paykel MR860 Laparoscopic Humidification System at variable flow rates. A 2.5l insulated chamber was constructed and a digital thermo-hygrometer placed inside it. The humidifier water vessel was weighed and exactly 30.0g of water poured in. 50....

Abstract
We report a case in which initial insufflation of laparoscopic gas resulted in immediate cardiovascular collapse requiring prolonged resuscitation. Persistent intracranial emboli following the arrest may have resulted from nitrogen contamination of the delivered gas. CLINICAL FEATURES: A 12-day-old...

Abstract
The Industrial Revolution saw the creation of many new jobs, but probably none more curious than that of zookeeper. The London Zoological Gardens, established for members in 1828, was opened to the general public in 1847. In 1852 the "Head Keeper in the Serpent Room", Edward Horatio Girling, spent a...

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care (38 Suppl 1) 2010
Abstract
Based on animal experiments conducted in the sixteenth century by Vesalius, the Royal Humane Society recommended fireside bellows to resuscitate victims of drowning. In the mid-twentieth century, the bellows concept was adapted by Kreiselman and others, though none of these devices gained widespread...

Abstract
We therefore investigated if insufflation of an open surgical wound with carbon dioxide would affect wound temperature. In 10 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the sternotomy wound was insufflated with dry, room temperature carbon dioxide via a gas diffuser for 2 minutes. A heat-sensitive camera...

Abstract
Eighty-two patients were randomized, with 41 in each arm. Groups were well matched at baseline. Intraoperative core temperature was similar in both groups. Median camera fogging score was significantly worse in the Study group (4 vs. 2, P = 0.040). There were marginal differences in pain scores, but...

Abstract
We describe two different possible mechanisms of carbon-dioxide embolization.
Out of 2196 coronary bypass surgeries, between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2009, there were 977 off-pump operations. Two off-pump cases (0.2%) had gaseous (carbon-dioxide) emboli that migrated against bl...

Abstract
The hypothesis that the abdominal wall thickness has an influence on the rate of the peristomal infection is not confirmed. This is of clinical relevance in patients, who are still in a relatively good general and nutritional condition before radiochemotherapy. The intraoperative ultrasonography can...

We report the case of a patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with a recent history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures whose etiology was initially a diagnostic mystery. After an initial visit to another ED, the patient presented to our ED later that day with a recurrence of the s...

Abstract
Removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries at the time of vaginal hysterectomy is a skill that must be acquired if one is to be a competent vaginal surgeon. Various techniques have been described and will be reviewed in this chapter. A single technique or series of steps often must be modified depen...

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effects of colorectally insufflated oxygen-ozone on red blood cell rheology in rabbits. Rabbits were divided into Group 1 (control); Groups 2, 3 and 4 (oxygen rectally insufflated respectively for 15, 21 and 36 days); Groups 5, 6 and 7 (ozone rectally insufflated respecti...

Abstract
Undetected perforation during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy can be fatal. Detecting a perforation at the time of laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine whether air insufflation of the stomach reliably detects perforation during laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.

Abstract
There were 37 procedures in 33 patients and 84% of them were on mechanical ventilation. The percentage of success in TPT placement was 89% (33/37) and the mean duration of the procedure was 12.8 min +/- 5.3. No complications were registered. CONCLUSION: TPT placement through the insufflation of air...

Abstract
The first insertion attempts and time taken to provide an effective airway were similar between the groups. Two patients (P-LMA(), n=1; S-LMA(), n=1) were intubated due to excessive oropharyngeal leak and in one patient (P-LMA(), n=1) due to failed OGT placement. OLPs were similar (P-LMA(); 26.9+/-6...

Abstract
The expression of E-cadherin, ICAM-1, CD44 and E-selectin in SW1116 cells were changed significantly following exposure to CO(2) insufflation at different pressures (P < 0.05). The expression of E-cadherin, CD44 and ICAM-1 decreased with increasing CO(2)-insufflation pressure. The adhesive/invasive...

Abstract
A 50-year-old female, who had a headache after Eustachian tube insufflation for her ear congestion, came to our hospital. CT and MRI revealed pneumocephalus and petrous ridge meningioma which destroyed petrous bone and air cells. Eustachian tube insufflation was considered to make the air coming int...

Abstract
The response rate was 24.5%. Fewer than half the respondents (66/142, 46.5%) were aware of the fact that room air can be replaced by CO2 for gut distension during endoscopy, and 4.2% of respondents were actually using CO2 as the insufflation agent. Endoscopists aware of the possibility of CO2 insuff...

Survey response was 71% (80/113). Three methods of MOV were identified. Full cuff deflation, followed by reinflation, removal of 1mL increments of air until a leak was detected, then restoration of cuff seal with 1mL of air was the preferred method (47/80 respondents, 59%) (Method 1). Full cuff defl...

Additional inspired oxygen improved Pao(2) and sternal wound PsqO(2) after bypass and may, consequently, reduce infection risk. However, oxygen insufflated locally into an occlusive dressing did not improve wound PsqO(2) and, therefore, does not appear to be useful clinically in cardiac surgery pati...
