INTRODUCTION
This assignment will review recent articles pertaining to the use of humidifiers for insufflation of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in conjunction with laparoscopic surgery. It will discuss the results of the review in relation to clinical practice and will address how the information gained will be used to enhance patient care.
Humidifiers are designed to humidify the CO2 to body temperature allowing the gas to be saturated with water vapour maintaining normal physiological conditions within …
