Various Types of Anaesthesia With Xenon in Children

Abstract

. Mask mono anesthesia with xenon has a lengthy induction; the circuit integrity is difficult to maintain, the gas flow is expensive; keeping in mind the described factors it has been defined as unpromising. The optimal xenon anesthesia is through a laryngeal mask or endotracheal. For all types of anesthesia premedication is necessary including 0.1% atropine sulfate. Induction in children younger than 5 years old should be carried out with sevoflurane via a face mask, and in children older than 5 years old with propofol. Analgesia at a 65-55% concentration of xenon in the anesthetic breathing mixture is inadequate and needs strengthening through the use of fentanyl intravenously. Keywords: xenon, low flowed anesthesia, anesthesia in children.More than a century has passed since the discovery of xenon (X). Nobel laureate William Ramsay (with J. Raleigh and M. Travers) has discovered four inert gases: argon, neon, krypton and xenon by using the method of spectral analysis from
