Operation
WARNING
Do not flush dry gas continuously for unne-
cessarily long periods through the soda lime
in the anesthesia system!
Otherwise the soda lime will dehydrate. If the
moisture level falls below a minimum level,
undesirable reactions generally occur, regard-
less of the type of soda lime and the inhalation
anesthetic used:
–reduced CO2 absorption,
– increased heat generation in the absorber
and therefore increased breathing gas
temperature,
– CO formation,
– absorption and/or breakdown of the inha-
lationanesthetic.
The above mentioned reactions may endanger
the patient, e.g.:
– CO poisoning
– insufficient depth of anesthesia
– burns of the airway.
CAUTION
Soda lime irritates the skin and there is a risk of
serious damage to eyes.
If soda lime has leaked:
– Powdered soda lime must not be inhaled or
swallowed.
– Put on protective gloves and goggles, or a
face mask.
– In case of coming in contact with eyes, rinse
immediately with large amounts of water and
consult a physician immediately, otherwise it
may lead to eye damage.
– Powdered soda lime on the skin must be
washed off immediately, because it may irri-
tate the skin.
