Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless gas used in medicine for insufflation of cavities during laparoscopic procedures and for stimulating respiration in certain clinical conditions. It is also used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Administration is performed using specialized equipment, as directed by a doctor, to ensure patient safety.

Side effects may include abdominal discomfort, pain at the insufflation site, or, in rare cases, complications related to excessive pressure.

Carbon dioxide is not recommended in cases of hypersensitivity to this gas or in the presence of conditions contraindicating its use, such as severe respiratory insufficiency.
