8.14.2.2 Using O
2 insufflation
Procedure for all 3 gas mixers:
WARNING
Risk of fire
In combination with oxygen or nitrous oxide, ignition sources such as
electrosurgical devices and laser surgical devices can cause fires.
► Prevent leakage, e.g., at endotracheal tubes, laryngeal masks, face masks, the
Y-piece, the breathing system including hoses, filters, and breathing bag, at the
external fresh-gas outlet, and at the outlet for O
2 insufflation.
► Use only intact and leak-free hoses at the outlet for O
2 insufflation.
► Before beginning laser surgery or electrosurgery, flush with sufficient air
(<25 % O
2), and flush beneath the surgical drapes as well.
► When O
2 outlets are in use (e.g., for insufflation), do not use any ignition
sources in the immediate vicinity.
► Do not position oxygen sources in the vicinity of ignition sources, e.g., electrical
connectors.
1. Connect the appropriate accessories to the outlet for O
2 insufflation (1).
WARNING
Risk due to overpressure
When the patient is connected to the outlet for O
2 insufflation without a relief valve,
increased pressure may be applied to the patient.
► Only connect the patient in a way that allows excess gas to escape (e.g.,
through a relief valve).
2. Connect the patient using a mask or nasal cannula.
