Brief Title: Study of Carbon Dioxide Exchange Patterns During Robotic Prostatectomies
Official Title: A Comparative Study of CO2 Exchange Patterns Between Valve-free Trocar (AirSeal®) Versus Standard Trocar (Endopath®) During Robotic Prostatectomies
Study ID: NCT02114164
Brief Summary: The AirSeal® System will allow for lower carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption rates than the standard Endopath System.
Detailed Description: The primary observation to be made is the level of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood, specifically when the patient is insufflated and deflated during the surgery. As a result of the consistent pressure that the AirSeal® system maintains, carbon dioxide will be absorbed in lower levels when compared to the standard of care systems in which fluctuations in intra-peritoneum pressure are seen.
