Modes of carbon dioxide delivery during laparoscopy generate distinct differences in peritoneal damage and hypoxia in a porcine model

ConclusionsDC-CO2 insufflation induces substantive cellular damage and hypoxia responses within the first hour of application. The use of HW-CO2 insufflation ameliorates these processes for the first one to one and half hours in a large mammal used to replicate surgery in humans.
