[Induced hypothermia during low-flow anesthesia in elderly patients]
Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibility of reducing of level of induced hypothermia during general balanced anesthesia, by using of low - flow techniques of anesthesia in elderly and senile patients. The temperature homeostasis was studied intraoperatively in 76 patients, aged 65-84 years, ASA III - IV, underwent different surgical operations under high (n=34) and low - flow (n=42) anesthesia. It was demonstrated that the low - flow anesthesia allows not only reduce loss of moisture and heat from the patients airway during surgery, but also optimize the intraoperative patient - body temperature, decrease level of induced hypothermia and minimize frequency of complication due to temperature misbalance in the immediate postoperative period. Such anesthesia is a sufficiently effective and safe method of inhalation anesthesia, which can be used with good results in routine geriatric surgery.
