Radial fan-based CO2 insufflation during laparoscopic surgery: a first-in-human study
This first-in-human study demonstrates that RFBI technology is safe, feasible, and capable of maintaining stable insufflation pressures across varied adult laparoscopic procedures. Radial fan-based insufflation effectively compensated for pressure fluctuations from ventilation and surgical events, warranting further evaluation of clinical benefits.
