Flow reversal through a Mark III halothane vaporizer.
A fault in the assembly of a Matrix Large Animal Circle anaesthetic machine resulted in reversal of fresh gas flow through the vaporizer. The fault was discovered only after the sudden development of excessive depth of anaesthesia in two equine patients. Laboratory investigations were conducted to determine the effect of flow reversal on vaporizer output. Results indicated that output concentra...
متن کاملThe Diamedica Draw-Over Vaporizer: a comparison of a new vaporizer with the Oxford Miniature Vaporizer.
The Diamedica Draw-Over Vaporizer (DDV) has been developed as an alternative to the Oxford Miniature Vaporizer (OMV). Both can function as draw-over or plenum vaporizers. The performances of these two vaporizers were compared under conditions simulating intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and continuous flow (CF). Series 1 experiments were conducted with the vaporizers in water ba...
متن کاملA microprocessor-controlled anaesthetic vaporizer.
A microprocessor-controlled anaesthetic vaporizer is described. Fresh gas is mixed in the correct proportions using two pulsed solenoid valves and a proportion of this passes through a third pulsed solenoid valve and is bubbled through liquid halothane. The temperature of the liquid agent is measured and the pulse frequency is modified to give the correct vapour concentration for the set flow r...
متن کاملTrace concentrations of halothane in human breast milk.
Halothane concentrations of 2 p.p.m. have been found in the breast milk of a lactating, practising anaesthetist. This concentration was consistent with the operating theatre environment. The authors fell that, in spite of the limited scope of the study, this is an additional reason for the elimination of waste anaesthetic agents from the operating theatre.
متن کاملModification of a draw-over vaporizer for use with sevoflurane.
BACKGROUND Draw-over anaesthesia is widely used throughout the developing world, in disaster areas and in military anaesthesia when the supply of pressurized oxygen is unreliable. To date, no draw-over vaporizer has been able to deliver sufficient concentrations of sevoflurane for use in inhalation induction of anaesthesia. A laboratory study to assess the performance of a new vaporizer (DDV2) ...
