Anaesthetic safety with the carbon dioxide laser

Carbon dioxide rebreathing with the anaesthetic conserving device, AnaConDa®.

BACKGROUND The anaesthetic conserving device (ACD) AnaConDa(®) was developed to allow the reduced use of inhaled agents by conserving exhaled agent and allowing rebreathing. Elevated has been observed in patients when using this ACD, despite tidal volume compensation for the larger apparatus dead space. The aim of the present study was to determine whether CO(2), like inhaled anaesthetics, adso...

Effects of carbon dioxide anaesthetic on Glossina.

Exposure of 2 day old virgin females of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, G. pallidipes, G. brevipalpis, and G. morsitans centralis to carbon dioxide anaesthesia for 15 sec has the effect of suppressing their subsequent insemination frequency. This insemination-inhibitory effect of the gas is more pronounced in G. f. fuscipes and G. pallidipes than in G. brevipalpis and G. m. centralis. In G.f. fusci...

Carbon dioxide concentration in various anaesthetic techniques.

FOLLOWING the observation of Harrison and Jones (1955) on the concentration of carbon dioxide in gas samples taken from two points on a Boyle's machine during the administration of anaesthesia by a semiclosed method, it was thought that it might be enlightening to extend the investigation to other techniques and machines. For this purpose, use was made of the recently available Carbon Dioxide A...

Carbon dioxide concentrations found in various anaesthetic circuits.

SOME investigations have been carried out face mask. The time lag of such a system over a period of time on the carbon diwould have to be sufficiently short to enoxide concentrations returned to the able all variations in concentration over patient in various types of partial and the breathing cycle to be observed and total rebreathing anaesthetic apparatus. A number of workers have published d...
