Low-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 کاملLow-flow anaesthesia and carbon monoxide in paediatric patients.
Editor—We read with interest the paper by Nasr and colleagues regarding carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing during low-flow anaesthesia (LFA) in infants and children and an earlier study by the same authors. We would like to call attention to two confounding issues. First, they have stated that an electrochemical sensor was used for measurement of CO in these studies in the range 0–2000 ppm, resol...
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 کاملUpdate in Paediatric Anaesthesia
Animal studies did not control for physiological variables like blood pressure, oxygenation, acidosis, hypoglycemia; factors that can induce apoptosis in these anaesthetized animals. Also drug doses and duration of exposure in animal studies cannot be transferred to humans. Apoptosis secondary to anaesthetic exposure is only seen at certain stages of brain development and is not uniform. It is ...

Confirmed decrease in tube exchange rate from in some studies 25% to 2%. (2) The advantages of this include, time saving, possible cost saving and less trauma and intubation stress. Reduced environmental pollution has been shown with levels of volatile and nitrous in the operating theatre significantly reduced. (2) (Not to mention keeping the greenies happy). Low flow anaesthesia is possi...
