    Abstract:

    Sevoflurane is suitable for Low-fLow Anesthesia (LFA). LFA needs a wash-in phase. The reported sevoflurane wash-in schemes lack simplicity, target coverage, and applicability. We proposed a one-step 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA to be used with both N2O and Air. The objective of our study was to identify time for achieving each level of alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (FAS) from 1 to 3.5% in both contexts. We recruited 199 adults requiring general Anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation—102 in group N2O and 97 in group Air. After induction and intubation, a wash-in was started using a fresh gas fLow of O2:N2O or O2:Air at 1:1 L·min− 1 plus sevoflurane 8%. The ventilation was controlled to maintain end-tidal CO2 of 30–35 mmHg. The rising patterns of FAS and inspired concentration of sevoflurane (FIS) are similar, running parallel between the groups. The FAS/FIS ratio increased from 0.46 to 0.72 within 260 s in group N2O and from 0.42 to 0.69 within 286 s in group Air. The respective time to achieve an FAS of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5% was 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min in group N2O and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min in group Air. The heart rate and blood pressure of both groups significantly increased initially then gradually decreased as FAS increased. The 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA has many advantages, including simplicity, coverage, swiftness, safety, economy, and that it can be used with both N2O and Air. A respective FAS of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5% when used with N2O and Air can be expected at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min. This study was retrospectively registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03510013) on June 8, 2018.

Methods We recruited 102 adults requiring general Anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation.

  • 1 1 12 one step wash in scheme for desflurane Low fLow Anesthesia performance without nitrous oxide
    Drug Design Development and Therapy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Thepakorn Sathitkarnmanee, Sirirat Tribuddharat, Duangthida Nonlhaopol, Maneerat Thananun, Wilawan Somdee
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: We reported a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) Low fLow Anesthesia that is simple, rapid, and predictable. There remain some situations where N2O should be avoided, which limits the generalizability of this wash-in scheme. The objective of our study was to determine the performance of this scheme in contexts where N2O is not used. METHODS: We recruited 106 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general Anesthesia. After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas fLow of air:O2 1:1 L/min and a vaporizer concentration of desflurane of 12%. Controlled ventilation was then adjusted to maintain PACO2 at 30-35 mmHg. RESULTS: The alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) rose rapidly from 0% to 6% in 4 minutes in the same pattern as observed in our previous study in which N2O was used. An FAD of 7% was achieved in 6 minutes. An FAD of 1% to 7% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes. The rise in heart rate during wash-in was statistically significant, although not clinically so. There was a slight but statistically significant decrease in blood pressure, but this had no clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Performance of the 1-1-12 wash-in scheme is independent of the use of N2O. Respective FADs of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes.

    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Sevoflurane is suitable for Low-fLow Anesthesia (LFA). LFA needs a wash-in phase. The reported sevoflurane wash-in schemes lack simplicity, target coverage, and applicability. We proposed a one-step 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA to be used with both N 2 O and Air. The objective of our study was to identify time for achieving each level of alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (F A S) from 1% to 3.5% in both contexts.Methods We recruited 199 adults requiring general Anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation—102 in group N 2 O and 97 in group Air. After induction and intubation, a wash-in was started using a fresh gas fLow of O 2 :N 2 O or O 2 :Air at 1:1 L·min -1 plus sevoflurane 8%. The ventilation was controlled to maintain end-tidal CO 2 of 30-35 mmHg.Results The rising patterns of F A S and inspired concentration of sevoflurane (F I S) are similar, running parallel between the groups. The F A S/F I S ratio increased from 0.46 to 0.72 within 260 sec in group N 2 O and from 0.42 to 0.69 within 286 sec in group Air. The respective time to achieve an F A S of 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5% was 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min in group N 2 O and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min in group Air. The heart rate and blood pressure of both groups significantly increased initially then gradually decreased as F A S increased.Conclusions The 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA has many advantages, including simplicity, coverage, swiftness, safety, economy, and that it can be used with both N 2 O and Air. A respective F A S of 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5% when used with N 2 O and Air can be expected at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min. This scheme may be applied for sevoflurane LFA in situations where an anesthetic gas analyzer is unavailable.

We proposed a one-step 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) LFA. The objective of our study was to identify times to achieve every alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (FAS) from 1% to 3.5%. Methods We recruited 102 adults requiring general Anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation. After induction and intubation, a wash-in was started using a fresh gas fLow of oxygen (O2):N2O at 1:1 L·min-1 plus sevoflurane 8%. The ventilation was controlled to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) of 30-35 mmHg. Results The rising patterns of FAS and inspired concentration of sevoflurane (FIS) are similar and parallel.

  • 1 1 12 one step wash in scheme for desflurane Low fLow Anesthesia performance without nitrous oxide

    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: We reported a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) Low fLow Anesthesia that is simple, rapid, and predictable. There remain some situations where N2O should be avoided, which limits the generalizability of this wash-in scheme. The objective of our study was to determine the performance of this scheme in contexts where N2O is not used. METHODS: We recruited 106 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general Anesthesia. After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas fLow of air:O2 1:1 L/min and a vaporizer concentration of desflurane of 12%. Controlled ventilation was then adjusted to maintain PACO2 at 30-35 mmHg. RESULTS: The alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) rose rapidly from 0% to 6% in 4 minutes in the same pattern as observed in our previous study in which N2O was used. An FAD of 7% was achieved in 6 minutes. An FAD of 1% to 7% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes. The rise in heart rate during wash-in was statistically significant, although not clinically so. There was a slight but statistically significant decrease in blood pressure, but this had no clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Performance of the 1-1-12 wash-in scheme is independent of the use of N2O. Respective FADs of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes.

After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas fLow of air:O2 1:1 L/min and a vaporizer concentration of desflurane of 12%. Controlled ventilation was then adjusted to maintain PACO2 at 30-35 mmHg. RESULTS: The alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) rose rapidly from 0% to 6% in 4 minutes in the same pattern as observed in our previous study in which N2O was used. An FAD of 7% was achieved in 6 minutes. An FAD of 1% to 7% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes. The rise in heart rate during wash-in was statistically significant, although not clinically so. There was a slight but statistically significant decrease in blood pressure, but this had no clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Performance of the 1-1-12 wash-in scheme is independent of the use of N2O. Respective FADs of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes.
