The study of the decay and concentration effects along the circuit can be useful to evaluate their kinetics. The presence of unexpected gases coming from the patient's tissues is another important topic. By means of gas monitoring devices we can study the physiologic changes consequent to the modifications to the patient position, or the respiratory variations due to V/Q mismatching. The end-expired fraction of the anesthetic (FE') is not so close to MAC as first proposed in the 1960s, but it remains the most precise index of the depth of anesthesia. The traditional concept of quantitative anesthesia is still sufficiently actual to be considered in the design of new anesthesia machines.</p>","PeriodicalId":79791,"journal":{"name":"Applied cardiopulmonary pathophysiology : ACP","volume":"5 Suppl 2 ","pages":"31-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21022467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Halogenated vapors and nitrous oxide damage both the macro-environment, i.e. the earth's atmosphere layer and the micro-environment, i.e. the operating room ambience. As nitrous oxide is one of the most toxic agents, and as pure oxygen is harmful to the lungs, a technique of closed circuit anesthesia has been developed which employs oxygen/air (0.35:0.35 l/min) as a carrier of isoflurane. The safety of this oxygen-air technique of closed circuit anesthesia has been demonstrated by the greater stability of oxygen concentrations in the circuit in comparison to the more extensively used oxygen-nitrous oxide technique.</p>","PeriodicalId":79791,"journal":{"name":"Applied cardiopulmonary pathophysiology : ACP","volume":"5 Suppl 2 ","pages":"69-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21022476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
