An appropriate maximum CO2 insufflation pressures for pediatric laparoscopic surgery would be:
a) 5
b) 15
c) 20
d) 25
e) 30
Click for Answer
Answer
Answer b. In general, higher insufflation pressure results in improved surgical field visualization and lower pressure results in improved hemodynamics/venous return. Insufflation pressures greater than 15 may result in significant perturbations of physiology (particularly in infants), but 5 or less is unlikely to provide adequate exposure.
