Medical Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is used for insufflating medical gas—to enlarge and stabilize body cavities to provide better visibility of the surgical area—for less invasive surgeries like laparoscopy, arthroscopy and endoscopy. Carbon dioxide can also be used for cryotherapy, where temperatures of -76° C, can be achieved. Using this technique body cells are destroyed by the process of crystallization, and may include the removal of wart, moles and skin tags. Carbon dioxide can be combined with oxygen or air for respiratory stimulation during and after anesthesia. CO2 may be piped in large hospitals, but more likely comes from a tank.
