Feasibility Evaluation of a Turbine-Based CO2 Insufflator for Children Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new turbine-based CO2 insufflator designed for pediatric laparoscopic surgery. This device aims to provide more precise pressure control that adjusts dynamically to ventilation, potentially offering more stable abdominal pressure than conventional insufflators. The study focuses on assessing the technical feasibility of using this novel insufflator during minimally invasive surgeries in children. Participants will undergo laparoscopic surgeries where the turbine-based insufflator is used to maintain abdominal pressure. The device performs oscillometric measurements to assess abdominal compliance during the procedure. The study compares pressure stability and ventilation pressures between this new turbine-based insufflator and standard CO2 insufflators, observing any adverse device events. During surgery, researchers will monitor and record adverse device events, intra-abdominal pressure stability, ventilation pressures, and abdominal compliance through endoscopic oscillometry. The study collects both qualitative observations and quantitative measurements to evaluate the devices performance. Participation involves standard surgical procedures using the insufflator, with no additional long-term follow-up specified.
