Improving the efficiency of the drawover anaesthetic breathing system.
We investigated modifications to the reservoir tube usually used in drawover anaesthetic breathing systems as a method of improving its efficiency and performance. The resulting oxygen concentration was recorded at different oxygen flow rates whilst an artificial lung was being ventilated over a range of minute volumes. Addition of a reservoir bag and valves significantly increased the measured...
متن کاملAnaesthetic Breathing Systems
The function of breathing is to maintain a supply of oxygen to the lungs for oxygenation of the tissues, and to remove carbon dioxide from the body. When used for spontaneous ventilation, a breathing circuit must enable a patient to breathe satisfactorily without significantly increasing the work of breathing or the physiological deadspace. It must also conduct inhalational anaesthetic agents t...
متن کاملWill we ever have a universal anaesthetic breathing system.
In this issue of the JOURNAL, Humphrey and his colleagues describe a version of the A.D.E. anaesthetic breathing system 1'2 which they feel is optimal for all patients. Humphrey et al . have shown that the "A.D.E. low-flow universal" system functions as a modified D (Mapleson's classification 3) or Bain circuit for controlled ventilation and, with the switch of a single lever, as a modified Map...
متن کاملAnaesthetic breathing systems in the accident and emergency department.
We report two cases where patients with an acute head injury developed hypercapnia as a result of the inappropriate use of the Magill breathing circuit. The Magill circuit is inefficient when used for controlled ventilation because the patient is ventilated with his own expired gas and develops hypercapnia. The suitability of alternative breathing systems are discussed.
متن کاملLack of anxiolytic effect of diazepam in pre-anaesthetic medication.
In 30 female patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy, we have compared the anxiolytic effect of diazepam 10 mg with placebo, using measurements of cardiovascular (arterial pressure and heart rate), biochemical (plasma concentrations of noradrenaline, adrenaline, cortisol and dopamine beta-hydroxylase), subjective (visual analogue scale) and behavioural (Hamilton anxiety test) variables. Pr...
