The Type of Carbon Dioxide Absorbent has no Relation to the Concentration of Carbon Monoxide in the Breathing Circuit during Low-flow Isoflurane Anaesthesia in Smoking and Non-smoking Subjects

Abstract: The present study was designed to investigate the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) in the anaesthetic circuit and of arterial carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) during low-flow isoflurane anaesthesia in smoking and non-smoking subjects using three kinds of cardon dioxide (CO 2 ) absorbent. Thirty smoking and 30 non-smoking subjects were selected for this study, and these two groups were each divided into three groups according to the type of CO 2 absorbent used (Wakolime™ A, Drägersorb™ Free, and Amsorb™). Anaest… Show more

“…Carbon monoxide produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin or exhaled by smokers can accumulate in the closed circle system. 31,32 b. Acetone, Methane, Hydrogen, and Ethanol: Acetone, methane, and hydrogen accumulate during closed system anesthesia. However, dangerous levels are reached only after hours of closed system anesthesia.…”
