[Enflurane anaesthesia in a "clinically closed" system (author's transl)].

The following report will deal with the application of "Enflurance" in the clinically closed (rebreathing) system. The term clinically closed system defines a procedure where the phase of approach up to MAC and the phase of subsidence is pursued in a half-closed system and the maintenance in a closed system. Enflurane was chosen as volatile anaesthetic, because it has been increasingly applied world-wide on account of its convenient qualities. Besides enormous savings by way of a low consumption of narcotics, this method offers a reduced environmental pollution. In case of sufficient monitoring, this technique proves attractive to smaller hospitals, disaster medicine and central hospitals likewise.
