Laparoscopic Surgery Capnography is particularly important in laparoscopy because an increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension during insufflation means the patient is not being ventilated adequately to handle the excess carbon dioxide absorbed from the peritoneal cavity. Insufflation of the abdomen may also result in movement of the trachea proximally almost 1 centimeter in respect to the tracheal tube. Lower insufflation pressures limit the amount of gas embolized because the insufflator stops gas flow as the pressure in the vein receiving the carbon dioxide rises to the set pressure. www.rashaduniversity.com /lasu.html   (4059 words)

[No title] Insufflation of the abdomen with carbon dioxide caused significant (P < 0.01) falls in mean cardiac index (17.9% in group A, 25.1% in group B) and mean stroke volume index (15.3% in group A, 21.2% in group B). After CO2 insufflation, the initiation of AWL resulted in a significantly decreased IAP (from 13 to 6 mm Hg; P < 0.001) and Rrs (from 20.6 to 17.8 cm H2O.L(-1).s(-1); P = 0.029), whereas Ers was partly modified (34.0 to 33.3 cm H2O/L; not significantly different). The intraperitoneal insufflation of carbon dioxide during laparoscopic procedures is associated with an increase in mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. www.ucsf.edu /teeecho/grandrounds/LapCholey.htm   (5230 words)

Insufflation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Insufflation, stated Eliphas Levi, "is of the most important practices in occult medicine, because it is a perfect sign of the transmission of life. Warm and prolonged insufflation restores the circulation of the blood, cures rheumatic and gouty pains, re-establishes the balances of the humors, and dispels lassitude. Magnetic passes have a similar effect to insufflations, and are a real breathing by transpiration and radiation of the interior air, which is phosphorescent in vital light; slow passes constitute warm breathing which fortifies and raises the spirits; swift passes are a cold breathing of dispersive nature, neutralizing tendencies to congestion. www.themystica.com /mystica/articles/i/insufflation.html   (364 words)

Insufflation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Insufflation is the practice of inhaling substances into a body cavity. Inert, nontoxic gases (such as carbon dioxide) are often insufflated into a body cavity, in order to expand the cavity and increase workroom, or reduce obstruction during investigative surgery. Psychoactive substances are often inhaled nasally for the purpose of intranasal absorption through the mucous membrane, which is often more rapid, or more complete, than gastrointestinal absorption. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Insufflation   (147 words)

Transtracheal high-flow insufflation supports spontaneous respiration in chronic respiratory failure CHEST - Find ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiologic effects of high-flow insufflation unobtrusively with a respiratory inductive plethysmograph in patients with chronic respiratory failure. Insufflation of oxygen through a small catheter inserted transcutaneously into the trachea was introduced by Heimlich. Since high-flow insufflation seems promising as a novel therapy of chronic respiratory failure, and since a device to provide a high flow of oxygen-enriched air in the patient's home is commercially available, the purpose of this study was to investigate the physiologic effects of therapy with high-flow insufflation in patients with chronic respiratory failure. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0984/is_1_127/ai_n9474598   (766 words)

ERBLAN Surgical: Insufflation Needle An insufflator is a needle-like device through which a gas or other fluid can be injected into a space or potential space somewhere within the body. Existing insufflator needles used for endoscopic surgical procedures are incapable of truly effective prevention of injuries to internal organs during insertion and manipulation of the device. The need for safer insufflator needles is thus imperative, especially given that endoscopic surgical procedures are likely to become more widespread in the future. www.erblan.com /ip/needle.htm   (186 words)

Operating channel/insufflation port assemblies (US5226876) The port assembly is anchorable in place, extending percutaneously into the stomach with remotely operable instrumentation being advanceable through the operating channel and into the stomach, and with CO being passable into the stomach through the insufflation lumen. An insufflation valve member, connectable to said insufflation port, provides means for variably controlling the supply of CO into the stomach while a sealing member prevents gas leakage through the operating channel during operation/insufflation by providing a seal between the port member and the remotely operable instrumentation received therethrough. After the balloon has been inflated, an inflation/insufflation tube within the inflation/insufflation lumen is advanced to seal the inflated balloon and open an insufflation port, through which a positive pressure may be maintain within the stomach during a subsequent surgical procedure performed through the operating channel. www.delphion.com /details?pn10=US05226876   (574 words)

ENIT, Thermal baths in Italy Insufflation is a particular thermal inhalation treatment for the initial phases of tubaric problems of the middle ear (eustachian tube / eardrum/transmission system) which can develop into form of chronic otitis and lead to deafness.

The Potential for CKD Insufflation to Impact Metal Emissions from Cement Kilns Because the volatile heavy metals concentrate in CKD, it is worth examining whether the CKD insufflation rate might affect the metal balance in the kiln. Dust insufflation remained relatively constant at 9-10 tons/hr for most of this period except for one 2-3 hour period of increased insufflation about half way through the equilibration period. Clearly if increased insufflation materially impacts equilibration, the 35% increase during testing should have resulted in a corresponding increase in metal emissions, particularly volatile metal emissions. gcisolutions.com /995tn.htm   (730 words)

Tracheal gas insufflation for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated newborn infants Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) is a technique where a continuous flow of gas is instilled into the lower trachea during conventional mechanical ventilation. Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI), or dead space washout, is a technique where, in addition to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), a continuous flow of gas (air/oxygen) is instilled into the lower trachea. This additional flow, or insufflation, of gas can occur throughout the ventilator cycle or only during expiration, with or without the addition of active aspiration of gas from the trachea during expiration (De Robertis 1999). www.nichd.nih.gov /cochrane/Davies2/Davies.htm   (3240 words)

Transtracheal High-Flow Insufflation Supports Spontaneous Respiration in Chronic Respiratory Failure -- Brack et al. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) For two breaths during low-flow insufflation and high-flow insufflation (marked with asterisks, respectively) rib cage vs abdominal volume loops (bottom left, C), and flow-volume loops (ie, time derivative of the sum volume vs the sum volume loops) [bottom right, D] are plotted. In bottom left, C, the major downward and minor leftward displacement of the loops with high-flow insufflation indicates that the drop in lung volume was predominantly related to deflation of the rib cage. High-flow insufflation induced similar changes in breathing patterns in both groups of patients (ie, a lower operating lung volume and a longer respiratory cycle time). www.chestjournal.org /cgi/content/full/127/1/98   (2966 words)

LM The distinction between "insufflation" and "exsufflation" has not always been preserved. Insufflation was also used to refer to the action of the priest during the blessing of the font, where the ancient rubric read, "let the priest breathe three times into the font in the form of a cross. The biblical roots of the insufflation ceremonies are found in such passages as the second creation story in Genesis which describes God breathing the breath of life into the first human being (Gn 2:7), and the account of Jesus' breathing upon the disciples and imparting to them the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22). www.episcopalchurch.org /19625_14582_ENG_HTM.htm   (235 words)

Critical Care | Full text | Equipment review: Tracheal gas insufflation Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) is an adjunctive ventilatory technique that delivers fresh gas into the trachea either continuosly or only during a specific segment of the respiratory cycle (phasic flow) [1,2,3,4]. We tested this possibility in normal dogs, and our data suggest that the volume of fresh gas insufflated by the catheter, rather than the flow rate, determines the efficacy of TGI [14].
