, troubleshooting steps: image - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. check that the monitor is
plugged in and turned on
2. check that all cables are connected correctly and securely
troubleshooting steps: view of operative field is reduced in size - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔immediately check the insufflator control panel to determine
cause
troubleshooting steps: loss of working space: insufflator settings:
-measured pressure is the same or higher than the preset pressure
flow rate = 0 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. the patient may not be adequately relaxed
or there is a mechanical block of gas flow
2. inspect abdomen for rhythmic muscle contraction and palpate the
abdomen for firmness
3. check port valves to make sure they are open
4. check for kinks in tubing and make sure no one is standing on them
troubleshooting steps: loss of working space: insufflator settings:
-low pressure and high flow rate
