Low-flow anesthesia
In low-flow anesthesia (flow ≤1.0 L/min), moisture
naturally condenses from the patient's exhaled air
in the hoses. To prevent water collection in the
hoses, a water trap must be integrated in the
ventilator hose.
For longer low-flow anesthesia, the additional use
of water traps in the expiratory hose is
recommended. When the filling height exceeds the
maximum mark, empty the water trap.
Nitrogen rinsing (as needed)
There is still air in the lungs of the patient and the
breathing system during anesthesia introduction,
which contains a fraction of approx. 77 % nitrogen.
If the device is used for a low-flow anesthesia,
press the key. This removes the nitrogen.
WARNING
Risk due to the accumulation of acetone in
the patient
Do not perform low-flow anesthesia on
patients with ketoacidosis or patients under
the influence of alcohol. The risk of
accumulation of acetone in the patient
increases in such cases.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
The use of minimum-flow or low-flow settings can
lead to accumulation of metabolic by-products in
the breathing system.
If minimum-flow or low-flow settings are used,
flush the breathing system regularly with the O
2
flush.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
Unsuitable soda lime can result in disintegration
products from the anesthetic gases.
Use suitable soda lime such as Drägersorb Free.
