Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Respiratory Physiology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Quantitative practice of inhalation anesthesia and ventilation requires sophisticated monitoring systems.
  • Existing systems may lack the comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for early detection of critical events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate an automatic feedback-controlled, totally closed-circuit anesthesia system (Physioflex).
  • To assess the system's capabilities in quantitative practice, monitoring, and early detection of respiratory and metabolic disturbances.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a closed-circuit system with unidirectional gas flow (70 l/min) and integrated ventilation chambers.
  • Implementation of end-expiratory feedback control for anesthetics and closed-loop control for oxygen.

  • On-line registration of flow, volume, respiratory pressures, capnogram, and oxygen consumption.

    • Main Results:

    • The system allows derivation of alveolar ventilation and static compliance.
    • On-line oxygen consumption monitoring aids in detecting impaired tissue oxygen supply.
    • Early detection and differentiation of airway obstructions and metabolic disregulations (e.g., malignant hyperthermia) are possible.

    Conclusions:

    • The Physioflex system significantly expands monitoring and respiratory diagnostic possibilities in artificial ventilation.
    • It provides new insights into cardiorespiratory (patho)physiology.
    • Early detection of disturbances in respiratory parameters and metabolism enhances patient care and safety.
