We have examined the predictability of inspired isoflurane concentration during low-flow anaesthesia using a to-and-fro breathing system. Twenty one adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation of the lungs during surgery took part in this study. Using a fresh gas flow of 2 l.min-1, the ratio of inspired isoflurane concentration to isoflurane vaporizer setting was found to be approximately 4/5th after 5 min of anaesthesia. The ratio was maintained throughout the procedure, except for a few minutes following each change in vaporizer setting.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007530 Isoflurane A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
