Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Inhalation anesthesia has three requirements: delivery of oxygen, delivery of an appropriate concentration of a volatile anesthetic agent, and removal of carbon dioxide. Halothane and isoflurane are the most commonly used anesthetic agents. They are usually delivered with a semiclosed circle system using an out-of-the-circuit vaporizer. Carbon dioxide is eliminated by chemical absorption and by flow of excess oxygen and waste anesthetic agent through the pop-off valve. These gases should be scavenged to prevent room contamination. A variety of ancillary equipment is available to assist the anesthetist during the procedure. |
