ABSTRACT
CO2 subcutaneous emphysema is one of the complications of laparoscopic surgery using CO2 gas. During laparoscopic surgery, CO2 gas can spread to the entire body surface through the subcutaneous tissue layer. Extensive CO2 subcutaneous emphysema results in hypercarbia and acute respiratory acidosis. Hypercarbia and acidosis can lead to decreased cardiac contractility and arrhythmia. A cloth band, 5 cm in width and 120 cm in length, was made with Velcro tape at both tips, and placed on the patient's xyphoid process level and inframammary fold to prevent CO2 subcutaneous emphysema. This report describes two successful cases using a chest band to prevent the expansion of CO2 subcutaneous emphysema.
