Experience with the use of the Carboflator for establishing pneumoperitoneum

Safe and adequate pneumoperitoneum is dependent upon intraperitoneal pressure and not upon the number of liters of gas insufflated. Volume of gas delivered depends upon the size of the patient and whether there is any possible leakage. The Carboflator is a useful instrument for establishing controlled insufflation of gas and fail-safe intraperitoneal pressure.
