Treatment-Resistant Severe Hypothermia in an Infant Caused by the AirSeal® Insufflator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The valveless trocar system is a novel insufflator that circulates carbon dioxide in the abdominal cavity. Herein, we report an infant with severe hypothermia due to use of this insufflator. An 83-day-old infant (body weight 3862 g) with gastroesophageal reflux underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. After insufflation was initiated, his body temperature acutely dropped to 34.4 °C. Standard treatments had no effect on the patient’s hypothermia. The valveless trocar system can decrease body temperature due to circulated insufflation gas, and this may be especially severe in infants. The valveless trocar system should not be applied to infants without heating and humidifying the insufflation gas.

Comparison of a standard CO2 pressure pneumoperitoneum insufflator versus AirSeal™: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND AirSeal is a novel class of valve-free insufflation system that enables a stable pneumoperitoneum with continuous smoke evacuation and carbon dioxide (CO₂) recirculation during laparoscopic surgery. Comparison data to standard CO₂ pressure pneumoperitoneum insufflators is scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential advantages of AirSeal compared to a standard CO₂ insuf...

Materials and methods: 77 consecutive patients underwent t-LRP. The last 38 patients treated using Thermoflator (group A) have been compared with the first 39 patients treated using Airseal (group B). Mean intrabdominal pressure was mantained at 12 mmHg in all patients. Baseline tidal, minute ventilation and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were set at 8 ml/Kg, 10 breaths/minute and 5 cm...
متن کاملStudy of Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 10-14 Months of Age Using Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development in Asphyxiated Newborns with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Treated with and without Therapeutic Hypothermia
Background: Therapeutic hypothermia has become an established protocol for all neonates with moderate to severe Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE). There are very few studies comparing the neurodevelopmental outcomes in asphyxiated neonates who received therapeutic hypothermia or did not. This study aimed to assess the neurodevelopmental outcomes of asphyxiated neonates with features of HIE...
