Effective CO2 insufflation over a surgical wound can displace available air, contributing to CO2 reducing infection. Since CO2 is 25 times more soluble in blood and tissue than air (at 37 degrees Celsius), it enhances CO2 surgical applications, particularly when utilizing devices like the Medtronic gas diffuser. Additionally, arterial CO2 emboli, such as those encountered during deairing the chest cavity, are much better tolerated than air emboli, further supporting its role in CO2 wound healing.
CO2 has antimicrobial properties that play a crucial role in reducing infection rates, particularly in surgical applications. This effectiveness is evident in procedures utilizing a deairing chest cavity emboli temed gas diffuser by Medtronic, contributing to improved CO2 wound healing outcomes and lowering the incidence rate of surgical site infections.
CO2 enhances wound healing by enabling the Bohr effect, which promotes a higher off-load of oxygen from hemoglobin to the surrounding blood and tissues. This mechanism not only supports CO2 wound healing but also plays a significant role in CO2 reducing infection, making it valuable in various CO2 surgical applications, including the use of a Medtronic deairing chest cavity emboli temed gas diffuser.
