The tablet-shaped CO2 absorbent demonstrated the longest functioning time, outperforming other brands. Absorbent shape significantly impacts CO2 absorption efficiency and duration in respiratory devices.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Respiratory Therapy
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption is critical in anesthesia and respiratory support.
  • The performance and longevity of CO2 absorbents can vary significantly between brands and formulations.
  • Understanding factors influencing absorbent functioning time is essential for patient safety and device efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comparatively evaluate the functioning time of three distinct CO2 absorbent brands: Viosorb, Wakolime, and Wakolime-A.
  • To determine the impact of CO2 absorbent shape on its operational longevity.
  • To assess CO2 elimination efficiency at different ventilation rates.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of three CO2 absorbent brands.

  • Measurement of partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PICO2) to assess functioning time.
  • Utilized a model lung system with fixed ventilation rates (200 and 300 ml.min-1).

    • Main Results:

    • PICO2 remained below 1 mmHg for 34–55 hours at 200 ml.min-1 and 32–48 hours at 300 ml.min-1.
    • All tested CO2 absorbents exhibited an exponential increase in PICO2 over time.
    • A statistically significant relationship was observed between PICO2 and time, indicating absorbent exhaustion.

    Conclusions:

    • The physical shape of a CO2 absorbent plays a crucial role in its overall functioning time.
    • Tablet-shaped CO2 absorbents offer extended operational periods due to optimal canister placement and gas flow.
    • Brand and formulation differences, alongside shape, influence the efficiency of CO2 elimination.
