ASCRS is the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Every year, the society hosts an annual conference dedicated to essential education and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. The ASCRS Annual Meeting focuses on ensuring high-quality patient care by advancing the science through research and education for prevention and management of disorders of the colon, rectum, and anus. Part of the conversation at this year's meeting centered around the benefits of low pressure procedures.
AirSeal® and Operating at Low Pressure
The valve-free design of AirSeal® enables surgeons to operate at low-pressure by ensuring stable pneumoperitoneum. Studies have shown that operating at a low pressure with AirSeal® may reduce airway pressure and blood pressure, improve minute volume, and increase pulmonary compliance. Gabriel Eduardo Mena, MD, had the following to say about the AirSeal® System:
“I have noticed a significant decrease in peak inspiratory airway pressure and mean airway pressure while using the AirSeal® system. These benefits are extremely important when taking care of obese patients who have increased airway resistance and decreased pulmonary compliance from baseline.”
With ASCRS recently emphasizing the benefits of operating at low pressure, we’re more proud than ever of our AirSeal® product and its numerous clinically-backed benefits. Lean more about the benefits of AirSeal® for colorectal surgery here.
