Performance of a new carbon dioxide absorbent, Yabashi lime® as compared to conventional carbon dioxide absorbent during sevoflurane anesthesia in dogs
In the present study, we compare a new carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent, Yabashi lime(®) with a conventional CO2 absorbent, Sodasorb(®) as a control CO2 absorbent for Compound A (CA) and Carbon monoxide (CO) productions. Four dogs were anesthetized with sevoflurane. Each dog was anesthetized with four preparations, Yabashi lime(®) with high or low-flow rate of oxygen and control CO2 absorbent wit...
متن کاملEffects of carbon dioxide absorbent cooling and temperature gradient reduction on water condensation in the anaesthesia circuit.
BACKGROUND Large quantities of water condensation occur in the anaesthesia circuit during low-flow anaesthesia. We hypothesized that cooling of the CO2 absorbent would prevent water condensation. METHODS To cool CO2 absorbent efficiently, we constructed a novel temperature gradient reduction (TGR) canister, which was cooled by a blower. Experiments were divided into three groups: the conventi...
متن کاملIn vitro compound A formation in a computer-controlled closed-circuit anesthetic apparatus. Comparison with a classical valve circuit.
BACKGROUND Few data exist on compound A during sevoflurane anesthesia when using closed-circuit conditions and sodalime with modern computer-controlled liquid injection. METHODS A PhysioFlex apparatus (Dräger, Lübeck, Germany) was connected to an artificial test lung (inflow approximately 160 ml/min carbon dioxide, outflow approximately 200 ml/min, simulating oxygen consumption). Ventilation ...
متن کاملAcute respiratory distress syndrome after an exothermic Baralyme-sevoflurane reaction.
ALL modern volatile anesthetics produce carbon monoxide in strongly exothermic reactions with anhydrous carbon dioxide absorbents. Although desflurane produces the most carbon monoxide, the reaction with sevoflurane produces the most heat. Using real anesthesia machines, sevoflurane, and desiccated Baralyme® (Allied Healthcare Products, Inc., St. Louis, MO), peak absorbent canister temperatures...
متن کاملHalothane adsorption complicating the use of soda-lime to humidify anaesthetic gases.
If the anaesthetic circle system is arranged to increase the humidity of fresh anaesthetic gases by placing the carbon dioxide absorbent canister between the fresh gas inlet and the patient, drying of the soda-lime can occur. Very dry soda-lime adsorbs significant quantities of halothane. Using fresh soda-lime, effluent halothane concentration reached 50% of the input concentration in 35s, but ...
