Low-Flow Anesthesia, Low Fresh Gas Flow, and Oxygen Flush: An Interesting Interplay.
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.
متن کاملLow-flow anaesthesia.
Although many anaesthesia machines are equipped with circle rebreathing systems, inhalational anaesthesia remains frequently performed using relatively high fresh-gas flows. The major advantages of rebreathing techniques can be achieved only if the fresh-gas flow is reduced to 1 l.min-1 or less. Although there are potential risks associated with low-flow anaesthesia, modern anaesthesia machines...
متن کاملA survey on the use of low flow anaesthesia and the choice of inhalational anaesthetic agents among anaesthesiologists of India
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the availability of modern workstations and heightened awareness on the environmental effects of waste anaesthesia gases, anaesthesiologists worldwide are practicing low flow anaesthesia (LFA). Although LFA is being practiced in India, hard evidence on the current practice of the same from anaesthesiologists practicing in India is lacking and hence, we conducted this su...
متن کاملLow-flow anaesthesia in paediatric patients.
Editor—We were interested in the study regarding carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing during low-flow anaesthesia (LFA) in paediatric patients. It is reassuring to note that modern anaesthetic circuits do not contribute to CO rebreathing in the context of LFA, as elegantly demonstrated by an in vitro control experiment. Although the technique is becoming increasing popular, even in paediatric pract...
متن کاملThe effect of low fresh gas flow rate on sevoflurane consumption
BACKGROUND In an era of medical cost containment, cost-effectiveness has become a major focus in healthcare. The effect of a new policy on the use of low fresh gas flow during maintenance of general anesthesia with volatile anesthetics was evaluated. METHODS The numbers and duration of general anesthesia cases using sevoflurane 5 weeks prior to and 15 weeks after policy implementation were re...
