Influence of Gas Temperature During Laparoscopic Procedures

  • Chapter
The Pathophysiology of Pneumoperitoneum

Abstract

Therapeutic laparoscopy has been rapidly accepted worldwide and currently accounts for an increasing proportion of intra-abdominal procedures, yet the influence of laparoscopic surgery on perioperative temperature homeostasis has received little attention. Evidence is emerging to suggest that the nature of insuflated gas plays a substantial role in the development or prevention of hypothermia during laparoscopy.
