Laparoscopic Surgery (4059 words)
	Capnography is particularly important in laparoscopy because an increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension during insufflation means the patient is not being ventilated adequately to handle the excess carbon dioxide absorbed from the peritoneal cavity.
	Insufflation of the abdomen may also result in movement of the trachea proximally almost 1 centimeter in respect to the tracheal tube.
	Lower insufflation pressures limit the amount of gas embolized because the insufflator stops gas flow as the pressure in the vein receiving the carbon dioxide rises to the set pressure.
