CAE Athena - Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide; Alveolar Sevoflurane; Fraction of Inspired Sevoflurane

Müse Parameter Descriptions
215
PN: 905K520652 v2.8
Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide
The Fraction of Inspired Nitrous Oxide parameter is used to simulate the amount of nitrous oxide
set in the anesthetic vaporizer and is used to calculate alveolar nitrous oxide.
This parameter has a faster effect on physiology than anesthesia machine settings, because mixing in
the breathing circuit is not simulated.
Note: Müse does not verify a 100 % sum of all fractions, because this would require all fractions to be
set.
Default: 0%
Range: 0.00% - 80.0%
Alveolar Sevoflurane
The Alveolar Sevoflurane parameter is used to simulate the presence of sevoflurane in the alveolar
space without using real anesthetic vapors. The sevoflurane percentage is input to the drug models
to achieve the expected pharmacodynamic effects (e.g., respiratory depression).
Using this parameter bypasses pharmacokinetics, real and instructor-specified inspired fractions,
venous content, lung perfusion and ventilation. This parameter can be used to focus on
cardiorespiratory effects (pharmacodynamics).
Note: Müse does not verify a 100% sum of all fractions, because this would require all fractions to be
set.
Default: Modeled
Range: 0.00% - 8.00%
Fraction of Inspired Sevoflurane
The Fraction of Inspired Sevoflurane parameter is used to simulate the amount of sevoflurane set
in the anesthetic vaporizer and is used to calculate alveolar sevoflurane.
This parameter has a faster effect on physiology than anesthesia machine settings, because mixing in
the breathing circuit is not simulated.
Note: Müse does not verify a 100 % sum of all fractions, because this would require all fractions to be
