Drawover anaesthesia and preoxygenation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the efficacy of preoxygenation using the Triservice Anaesthetic Apparatus (TSA) in healthy patients and found it to be unsatisfactory. An alternative technique suitable for field use was explored. The Mapleson D system (Bain) was found to be suitable for preoxygenation with a fresh gas flow of only 4 litre of oxygen per minute. In a randomized study using only 4 litre of oxygen per minute for 3 min, the Bain system was found to be superior to the TSA.

Domiciliary oxygen concentrators in anaesthesia: preoxygenation techniques and inspired oxygen concentrations.
A conventional preoxygenation technique was compared in two volunteers with two techniques based on a drawover breathing system supplied with oxygen enriched air from a Devilbiss Mini VO2 domiciliary oxygen concentrator. Breathing from a 20-litre bag, filled previously at 2 litre min-1 from the concentrator was as effective as the conventional technique (PaO2 73.2 kPa). Supplying 4 litre min-1 ...
متن کاملImproving 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 کاملPreoxygenation in children using expired oxygraphy.
We performed preoxygenation on 25 patients, aged 1-12 yr. End-tidal oxygen sampling was used to find the duration of preoxygenation required to reach an end-tidal oxygen fraction of 0.9. All children reached this end-point within 80 s, which was markedly more rapid than that observed in adult subjects. The clinical applications of this form of monitoring in children are discussed.
متن کاملMulticentre study of preoxygenation practices by anaesthesia providers.
A total of 155 consecutive anaesthetics in three public Malaysian hospitals were prospectively studied to assess preoxygenation practices by their anaesthesia providers. Preoxygenation was practised in 96.1% of patients. Specialist and non-specialist anaesthesiologist did not preoxygenate 8.8% and 2.3% of their patients, respectively. Overall incidence of arterial oxygen desaturation during ind...
متن کاملVital capacity and tidal volume preoxygenation with a mouthpiece.
We have measured oxygen wash-in in 20 volunteers undergoing preoxygenation with a face mask, mouthpiece alone and a mouthpiece with a noseclip, in a crossover study. Tidal volume breathing and maximal deep breath techniques were studied with each type of equipment. When tidal volume breathing was used, the face mask and mouthpiece with noseclip were comparable, but the mouthpiece alone achieved...
