Cardiopulmonary changes during laparoscopy and vessel injury: comparison of CO 2 and helium in an animal model

Abstract: The incidence of gas embolism during laparoscopy and accidental vessel injury seems to be very low. With the exception of acidosis and an increase of PETCO2 in the CO2 group, there were no differences in cardiopulmonary function between insufflation of CO2 and helium.

“…Insufflation with carbon dioxide results in hypercapnia, acidosis, and increased pCO 2 as well as increased endtidal CO 2 [16,17]. In addition to these changes it is not surprising that our investigations show acidosis of the intra-and extracellular milieu after insufflation with CO 2 .…”

“…Whether pressure exerts an antagonistic or agonistic effect is as controversial as it is contradictory [26][27][28] . However, the consensus evidence suggests that increasing pressures stimulate intra-abdominal tumour growth.…”

“…Systemic acidosis is a consistent finding with CO 2 pneumoperitoneum, and a local peritoneal pH as low as 6.2 has been observed in humans (unpublished data from pilot-study). Alternative gases have been considered [1] and helium seems to be safe, as it is a small molecule that easily passes through tissue, apparently without creating gas embolisms [2]. It is also non-combustible and does not create acidic conditions in contact with water.…”
