Carbon dioxide output in spontaneously breathing infants during anaesthesia and surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty-eight infants were anaesthetized with halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen and allowed to breathe spontaneously through a non-rebreathing system during minor paediatric surgery. Carbon dioxide output was correlated negatively with body weight for infants greater than 10 kg, but not for children less than 10 kg. Carbon dioxide output was unchanged compared with before surgery.

Ventilation and gas exchange during anaesthesia and surgery in spontaneously breathing infants and children.
Minute ventilation (VE) (ml min-1), respiratory frequency (f), mixed expired carbon dioxide fraction (FECO2) and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration (E'CO2) (%) were measured, and alveolar ventilation (VA), deadspace (VD), deadspace/tidal volume ratio (VD/VT) and carbon dioxide output (VCO2) calculated in 58 anaesthetized, spontaneously breathing infants and children weighing 2.8-20.5 kg. Al...
متن کاملAcute effects of fentanyl on breathing pattern in anaesthetized subjects.
BACKGROUND The predominant effect of opioids on respiratory pattern during anaesthesia is an increase in the duration of expiration (an effect on 'timing'), but there may also be changes in tidal volume (an effect on 'drive'). Timing and drive are controlled by separate neuronal systems, but are infrequently considered individually. The effects of opioids on breathing are not well characterized...
متن کاملOxygen application by a nasal probe prevents hypoxia but not rebreathing of carbon dioxide in patients undergoing eye surgery under local anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND/AIM Hypoxia and carbon dioxide rebreathing are potential problems during eye surgery in spontaneously breathing patients. The aim of the present study was to determine effectiveness of nasal application of oxygen to prevent hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation in spontaneously breathing patients undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS Oxygenation and carbon dioxide rebreathing were...
متن کاملEffects of nitrous oxide on the respiratory pattern of spontaneously breathing children during anaesthesia.
The effects of the withdrawal of nitrous oxide from the inspired gas mixture were studied in 10 spontaneously breathing children during nitrous oxide-halothane anaesthesia, before and during surgery, using a computerized system for the measurement, recording and analysis of data. Before surgery the decline in the alveolar nitrous oxide concentration was associated with an increase in minute ven...
متن کاملEffects of reduced rebreathing time, in spontaneously breathing patients, on respiratory effort and accuracy in cardiac output measurement when using a partial carbon dioxide rebreathing technique: a prospective observational study
INTRODUCTION New technology using partial carbon dioxide rebreathing has been developed to measure cardiac output. Because rebreathing increases respiratory effort, we investigated whether a newly developed system with 35 s rebreathing causes a lesser increase in respiratory effort under partial ventilatory support than does the conventional system with 50 s rebreathing. We also investigated wh...
