    This study details a semi-closed circle anesthesia system, effective for all ages. It prevents carbon dioxide rebreathing and offers efficient gas delivery, reducing costs and environmental impact.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Respiratory System Engineering

    Context:

    • Semi-closed circle anesthesia systems are widely used in medical settings.
    • Efficient carbon dioxide absorption and unidirectional gas flow are critical for patient safety.
    • Optimizing anesthetic delivery systems impacts cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and applicability of a semi-closed circle anesthesia system.
    • To assess the system's performance across different patient age groups.
    • To determine the system's suitability as a universal anesthetic apparatus.

    Summary:

    • The semi-closed circle system features separated inspiratory and expiratory limbs with soda lime for carbon dioxide absorption.
    • Integrated valves ensure unidirectional gas flow, preventing rebreathing even at low tidal volumes and high frequencies.

  • The system is adaptable for all age groups, meets ISO standards for expiratory resistance, and provides adequate gas warming and humidification.
  • Standard monitoring, including oxygen concentration and ventilation pressure, is compatible, with spirometry or end-tidal CO2 ensuring normoventilation.
  • Requires a fresh gas flow of 2-4 L/min, offering lower costs and reduced anesthetic gas pollution compared to semi-open systems.

    • Impact:

    • This adaptable anesthesia system provides a cost-effective and environmentally conscious option for diverse patient populations.
    • It meets stringent safety standards for gas flow and resistance, simplifying anesthetic delivery.
    • The system's efficiency in gas usage and reduced environmental contamination contribute to sustainable anesthetic practices.
