| Core Tip |
This case series serves as a critical warning on the significant intraoperative hazard of salvage transanal total mesorectal excision: Dense fibrosis resulting from prior multimodality treatment creates “non-collapsible veins” that remain open when injured, allowing massive carbon dioxide (CO2) influx. The investigators highlight the diagnostic biphasic capnographic signature-initial hypocapnia followed by rebound hypercapnia-as a key observational point for differentiating CO2 embolism from other causes of intraoperative collapse, and emphasize the vital role of perioperative nursing collaboration in the successful management of such crises. |
