Totally closed circuit nitrous oxide/oxygen anaesthesia.

F Barton, J F Nunn

    British Journal of Anaesthesia
    |March 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Totally closed circuit anesthesia using nitrous oxide/oxygen and halothane or opiates demonstrated efficient gas utilization. Oxygen consumption was steady, while nitrous oxide use decreased over two hours during anesthesia.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Closed-circuit anesthesia systems offer potential for reduced gas consumption.
    • Optimizing anesthetic gas delivery is crucial for patient safety and cost-effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate gas and anesthetic agent expenditure during totally closed circuit anesthesia.
    • To assess the efficacy of nitrous oxide/oxygen mixtures supplemented with halothane or opiates.

    Main Methods:

    • Totally closed circuit anesthesia was administered using nitrous oxide/oxygen mixtures.
    • Halothane was used for spontaneous breathing, and opiates for artificial ventilation.
    • Gas and anesthetic expenditure were measured, with inspired oxygen monitored at 30%.

    Main Results:

    • Average oxygen expenditure was 227 ml/min.
    • Nitrous oxide expenditure decreased from 462 ml/min to 110 ml/min over 2 hours.
    • Average halothane expenditure was 3.5 ml/hr, with minimal operating theatre atmosphere contamination.

    Conclusions:

    • Totally closed circuit anesthesia is effective in minimizing anesthetic gas waste.
    • This anesthesia technique maintains stable oxygen levels and low halothane exposure.
    • Efficient gas management is achievable with closed-circuit anesthesia systems.
