Description

This video demonstrate in Laparoscopic surgery how to create safe Pneumoperitoneum - Lecture by Dr R K Mishra. Laparoscopic surgery involves insufflation of a gas (usually carbon dioxide) into the peritoneal cavity producing a pneumoperitoneum. This causes an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Carbon dioxide is insufflated into the peritoneal cavity at a rate of 4–6 litre min−1 to a pressure of 12–15 mm Hg. Safe insufflation is important for a laparoscopic surgeon.
