Continuous Respiratory Oscillometry in Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgery-The COMET Study

Listen to this summary

The COMET study investigates the feasibility of continuously tracking respiratory mechanics in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy using respiratory oscillometry. The authors aimed to determine if this method could effectively monitor changes in respiratory mechanics due to pneumoperitoneum during surgery. Results indicated a successful recruitment and data collection process, suggesting that continuous measurement is both feasible and acceptable, paving the way for future larger randomized control trials.
