Scavenging anesthetic gas from a membrane oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concerns remain about the acute and chronic effects on personnel of waste anesthetic gases in the operating room environment. This study demonstrates a simple and effective means of scavenging waste anesthetic gases when halogenated anesthetics are administered through the pump oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass. This technique safeguards workers' health by reducing ambient anesthetic levels below the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended exposure limits.

An Innovative Technique to Improve Safety of Volatile Anesthetics Suction from the Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit
CONTEXT Myocardial injury during cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Preclinical and clinical evidence of dose- and time-related cardioprotective effects of volatile anesthetic drugs exist and their use during the whole surgery duration could improve perioperative cardiac protection. Even if administering volatile agents during CPB ...
متن کاملIn vivo uptake and elimination of isoflurane by different membrane oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass.
BACKGROUND Volatile anesthetics are frequently used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to maintain anesthesia. Uptake and elimination of the volatile agent are dependent on the composition of the oxygenator. This study was designed to evaluate whether the in vivo uptake and elimination of isoflurane differs between microporous membrane oxygenators containing a conventional polypropylene (PPL) ...
متن کاملChanges in sevoflurane plasma concentration with delivery through the oxygenator during on-pump cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND It is unclear what factors affect the uptake of sevoflurane administered through the membrane oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and whether this can be monitored via the oxygenator exhaust gas. METHODS Stable delivery of sevoflurane was administered to 30 elective cardiac surgery patients at 1.8 vol% (inspiratory) via the anaesthetic circuit and ventilator. During CPB,...
متن کاملMembrane oxygenator exhaust capnography for continuously estimating arterial carbon dioxide tension during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Typically, the standard practice for measuring the arterial blood carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is to take intermittent blood samples for analysis by a bench blood gas analyzer. Continuous inline blood gas monitors are available but are expensive. A potential solution is the capnograph, which was evaluated by determining how accurately the carbon dioxide ten...
متن کاملImpact of hollow-fiber membrane surface area on oxygenator performance: Dideco D903 Avant versus a prototype with larger surface area.
This study compares the gas transfer capacity, the blood trauma, and the blood path resistance of the hollow-fiber membrane oxygenator Dideco D 903 with a surface area of 1.7 m2 (oxygenator 1.7) versus a prototype built on the same principles but with a surface area of 2 m2 (oxygenator 2). Six calves (mean body weight: 68.2 +/- 3.2 kg) were connected to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by jugular v...
