The same equipment, including the same monitor,
insufflators, light source and camera, were used for all cases.
Canula was then attached to
insufflator to achieve intraperitoneal pressure of 14 mmHg.
regardless of what type of
insufflator you are using.
Paul, Minn., can be connected to any
insufflator. A small electric heater regulated by a controller box warms the gas; by the time it reaches the cannula valve, it is roughly 36 [degrees] C.
The PROTOCO2L TOUCH Colon
Insufflator provides a software controlled insufflation of carbon dioxide during CT Colonoscopy.
* C[O.sub.2] is diverted from the surgical
insufflator to the tip of the laparoscope, creating a barrier of dry gas over the lens that shields it from condensation, smoke and debris, keeping the lens consistently clear.
Once position of veress needle is confirmed, the needle is now attached to the
insufflator which delivers the C[O.sub.2] at the rate of 1 ml per min initially.
Insuffiation filters are used to protect the patient from bacteria and particulate that may be present in the C[O.sub.2] tanks and delivered to the patient via the
insufflator device.
Wilkoff, I walk around work with an
insufflator in my pocket ("The Sad State of Otoscopy," Letters From Maine, March 2002, p.
The device integrates the existing air flow from standard
insufflator lines to create a continuous air curtain that protects the laparoscope lens which increases visibility and reduces the need to remove the laparoscope for cleaning by eliminating fogging and sticking of debris on the laparoscope lens.
