Low-Flow Anesthesia, Low Fresh Gas Flow, and Oxygen Flush: An Interesting Interplay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Identification and analysis of critical respiratory alarms during use of an advanced anesthesia workstation is essential in the intraoperative period. We present and discuss a scenario in which there was activation of a fresh gas flow alarm during low-flow anesthesia intraoperatively and use of oxygen flush to counteract it led to a diluted concentration of the inspired anesthetic agent.

Effect of N2O on sevoflurane vaporizer settings during minimal- and low-flow anesthesia.
BACKGROUND Uptake of a second gas of a delivered gas mixture decreases the amount of carrier gas and potent inhaled anesthetic leaving the circle system through the pop-off valve. The authors hypothesized that the vaporizer settings required to maintain constant end-expired sevoflurane concentration (Etsevo) during minimal-flow anesthesia (MFA, fresh gas flow of 0.5 l/min) or low-flow anesthesi...
متن کاملInhaled gases humidification and heating during artificial ventilation with low flow and minimal fresh gases flow.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inhaled gas humidification and heating are necessary in patients under tracheal intubation or tracheostomy to prevent damage to respiratory system resulting from the contact of cold and dry gas with the airways. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of respiratory circle systems with carbon dioxide absorbers from Dräger's Cicero anesthesia machine (Germany) as to i...
متن کاملThe Effect of Fresh Gas Flow on Paco2 in General Anesthesia
SUMMARY The effect of fresh gas tlow on PaCo2, was studied on 15 children who given general anesthesia for surgery. Each patient was his/her own control Arterial blood samples were drawn to measure PaCo2. First sample was taken 15 minutes and the second sample 30 minutes after the patient was anesthetised. Gas flow increased by 500 ml, and the 3rd sample taken after 15 minutes. The mean PaCo2...

Objective. The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to investigate the effects of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia on the pulmonary functions in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods. Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classes I and II patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Patients were...
متن کاملComparison between low flow sevoflurane anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia during intermediate-duration surgery: effects on renal and hepatic toxicity.
BACKGROUND Renal and hepatic dysfunction or injury might be involved by ether based anesthetic and intravenous anesthetic drug or surgical stress. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of moderate duration low-flow sevoflurane versus total intravenous anesthesia on renal and hepatic functions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty (80) patients between the ages of 25-70 scheduled for elect...
