Resumen
JAIMERENA, Sebastián L. et al. Carbon dioxide filtering system for laparoscopic surgery in times of COVID-19 pandemic. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.112, n.4, pp.438-444. ISSN 2250-639X. http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v112.n4.1551.ei.
Background:
Background: the COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to new challenges in the management of laparoscopic surgery.
Objectives:
the aim of this study is to present a low-cost filtering system used for laparoscopic surgery during the pandemic in our Department of Surgery.
Material and methods
: a bibliographic search was conducted and a protocol and filtering system were designed to evacuate the pneumoperitoneum avoiding contact with the SARS-CoV-2.
Results:
this low-cost filtering system to evacuate the pneumoperitoneum during the pandemic is easy to assemble using materials that are usually available at the operating room.
Conclusions:
laparoscopic surgery is feasible during the COVID-19 pandemic using a simple, low-cost carbon dioxide filtering system.
