Interventions
Warm humidified CO2
Participants will receive warm (37°C) and humidified (95%) CO2.The humidification and warming device to be used is AlwaysPneumo® AP 50/30 InsuflowPort® (Lexion Medical, FDA approved) which is a specialized port that delivers warmed (95° F) and humidified (95% relative humidity) CO2, the source of which is a standard CO2 tank or wall source
Dry CO2
Participants will receive standard cold (19-21 °C) and non-humidified (0%) CO2 insufflation with Airseal Insufflator
