Abstract
BACKGROUND: Insufflation with CO2 can employ continuous flow, recirculated gas and/or additional warming and humidification. The ability to compare these modes of delivery depends upon the assays employed and opportunities to minimize subject variation. The use of pigs to train colorectal surgeons provided an opportunity to compare three modes of CO2 delivery under controlled circumstances. METHODS: Sixteen pigs were subjected to rectal resection, insufflated with dry-cold CO2 (DC-CO2) (n = 5), recirculated CO2 by an AirSeal device (n = 5) and humidification and warming (HW-CO2) by a HumiGard device (n = 6). Peritoneal biopsies were harvested from the same region of the peritoneum for fixati..
