LF: Low Flow Anaesthesia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To study the Flow-I breathing circle during low flow general anaesthesia, whether this non-below system has advantages reduced time to reach Et 1MAC (minimal alveolar concentration) and lower consumption of inhaled agent

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to reach 1.5 MAC (minimal alveolar concentration) Et [1 hour]
The time needed, seconds, to increase the end tidal desflurane concentration during wash-in from a 1 MAC to a 1.5 MAC with a constant fresh gas flow of 1 L/min and the vaporiser set a 3 MAC ( minimal alveolar concentration) (18%) will be compared between the two study groups
Secondary Outcome Measures
- amount of inhaled agent consumed ml/min [5 hours]
The vaporiser will be weighed before and after each case and the amount of vapor, desflurane, consumed during the anaesthesia will be calculated Gr/min.
- Postoperative Quality of Recovery [72 hours]
Quality of recovery will be followed during the first 72 hours after anaesthesia
Other Outcome Measures
- Adequate anaesthesia [5 hours]
Patients will be asked after end of anaesthesia if they have had any recall of intraoperative events
