Warning: When the moisture content falls below a
specified minimum level, the following
undesirable reactions can occur,
regardless of the type of CO

and the anesthetic agent used, e.g.
Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane,
Sevoflurane or Desflurane:
• reduced CO
2 absorption,
• formation of CO,
• absorption and/or decomposition of
the inhalation anesthetic agent,
• increased heat generation in the
absorber, leading to higher breathing
gas temperatures.
Additionally, the breakdown products of
anesthetic agents exposed to dry
absorbent are both flammable and toxic,
and fires have been reported in
association with the use of desiccated
absorbent and volatile anesthetics.
These reactions can result in danger to
the patient in the form of CO intoxication,
insufficient depth of anesthesia and
airway burns.
