Insufflation
Captions available
The idea
An insufflator fills the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide to create working space for the ports and instruments.
In practice
A Veress needle is one way to begin insufflation; warmed insufflation gas is one of the methods used to help keep patients warm.
Where people slip
The insufflator is checked during setup, along with its gas supply.
