==Answer==
Answer b. In general, higher insufflation pressure results in improved surgical
field visualization and lower pressure results in improved hemodynamics/venous
return. Insufflation pressures greater than 15 may result in significant
perturbations of physiology (particularly in infants), but 5 or less is unlikely to
provide adequate exposure.
