```Airflow Insufflator System```
`Key Components:`
1️⃣ Gas Source (CO₂ for surgery, O₂ for respiration)
2️⃣ Flow Regulator & Pressure Sensors (Maintain safe pressure balance)
3️⃣ Delivery Tubing & Filters (Ensure sterile, precise gas administration)
4️⃣ Control Unit & Display (Real-time monitoring of pressure & flow)
Applications:
✳️ Surgical Procedures (Laparoscopy, Endoscopy): CO₂ insufflation is used to expand the abdominal cavity, creating workspace for minimally invasive surgery.
✳️ Radiological Imaging: Gas insufflation is used to enhance organ contrast for X-rays and CT scans.
✳️ Respiratory Therapy: Oxygen insufflation via nasal cannulae assists patients with breathing difficulties.
✓ CPAP functions as a respiratory insufflator, maintaining open airways in pulmonary therapy.
