During development of drugs for pulmonary delivery, it is necessary to evaluate pharmacokinetics and efficacy in an animal model. We present a method to build a disposable aerosol dispersion system from of-the-shelf components that can be used to administer intrapulmonary dry powder aerosol to rodents.

Intraoperative video consultation expedites and improves surgical care. Here, we present a case where intraoperative video consultation between a rural hospital and an academic hepatobiliary surgeon facilitated immediate diagnosis of bile duct transection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, direct to operating room transfer between centers, and injury repair with robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

This article presents a method for measuring the working abdominal volume during laproscopic myomectomy using the surgical grasper, and applies this technique to obtain pilot data on whether deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) can enable the use of lower insufflation pressure. Reduced insufflation pressure during laproscopic surgery has been shown to reduce post-operative pain, and thus the use of NMB during surgery may enable improved patient outcomes.

FAQs
The system regulates two linked variables: the rate at which carbon dioxide enters the body cavity and the pressure that develops inside it. Sensors monitor intra-abdominal pressure, while automated controls adjust gas delivery to help maintain the selected target. This coordination supports a consistent operative space rather than relying on uncontrolled gas flow alone.
Target pressure determines how effectively the abdominal wall is separated from internal organs and how much space is available for visualization and instrument movement. The insufflator continuously supports this pressure through monitored gas delivery. Evaluating pressure-related effects is therefore part of safe laparoscopic technique and helps clinicians balance working-space requirements with patient considerations.
The trocar provides the access route through which carbon dioxide enters the abdominal cavity. Once connected to the insufflator, it allows gas delivery to establish pneumoperitoneum, creating separation between the abdominal wall and internal organs. The same access arrangement supports insertion and use of the laparoscopic camera and surgical instruments within the resulting working space.
During laparoscopy, the system introduces carbon dioxide through a trocar and establishes pneumoperitoneum. Sensors then monitor the intra-abdominal pressure while automated controls regulate delivery toward the selected target. After the working space forms, the camera and instruments can pass through access points with improved visibility and maneuverability, supporting the minimally invasive procedure.
Its principal use is during laparoscopic procedures that require a stable working space inside the abdomen. By separating the abdominal wall from internal organs, insufflation enables a camera and surgical instruments to operate within the cavity. The device is especially relevant when minimally invasive access, controlled gas delivery, and pressure monitoring are integral to the procedure.
Understanding the device clarifies why controlled flow, pressure sensing, and automated regulation matter when selecting equipment for laparoscopy. It also helps clinicians evaluate whether the system can support the intended working space while monitoring pressure-related effects on patients. This technical and clinical perspective connects device performance with safe laparoscopic practice and procedural needs.
