Abstract

Closed-circuit anesthesia is safe and physiologic. It allows normoventilation and avoids hypo or hyperventilation. Respiratory gases remain warm and humid. No anesthetic pollution of the room occurs. It allows early detection of metabolic abnormalities (malignant hyperthermia, pulmonary or tissue underperfusion). Closed-circuit anesthesia is economical.

[Closed anesthetic systems].

Anaesthesia with closed anaesthetic systems demands knowledge of the physiology of the patients and of how the various anaesthetic gases behave in the organism as only the gases which the patients produces and absorbs are eliminated and replaced. The system is educational as it provides knowledge of the genuine absorption of oxygen and anaesthetic gases. The method is favourable to the environment as only the gases which are used are supplied and it is thus economical in use although investment in monitoring equipment is necessary. In practice, induction and waking of the patient are complicated with this system and it requires an anaesthetist who constantly adjusts the gases in the circuit.

[Low-flow anesthesia systems].

At present, when economy and environment receive high priority, the ideal anaesthesia system with inhalation anaesthetics is a closed circle system in which only the gases which the patient consumes or produces are replaced or eliminated. Low-flow (LF) anaesthesia in which the fresh gas flow which is employed in a closed system, provides a stable system compares with closed anaesthesia systems. Compared with open systems and circler systems with considerable fresh gas flow, the LF system provides advantages as regards economy, environment and exposure of staff to inhalation anaesthetics. The special conditions involved in LF anaesthesia are described in detail with the hope that the method will obtain more widespread distribution than is the case in Denmark today. If greater safety under anaesthesia is desired, eg by monitoring the concentrations of CO2, O2 and inhalation anaesthetics which the patients inspire and expire, this monitoring equipment can be financed by introduction of LF anaesthesia.
