• Abstract

  Tracheal intubation limits the normal warming and humidifying functionsof a patient's upper airways. An inhaled gas minimum moisture target of 20 mgH2O.L-1is recommended to reduce the deleterious effects of dry gas on the airways. The Fabius GS Premium anesthesia workstation (Dräger Medical, Lübeck, Germany) has a built-in hotplate to heat gases in the breathing circuit. The use of a low …

• Abstract

  Our research group has been evaluating the genotoxic effect of the anesthetics utilized in patients. Desflurane and sevoflurane are the newest halogenated anesthetics, and desflurane has recently been used in Brazil. Little is known about the possible effects of this agent in relation to DNA damage and oxidative stress in patients undergoing surgery. Moreover, it is not yet known whether …

• Abstract

  During anesthesia, tracheal intubation prevents contact of the gaseous mixture with the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract. Thus, it can lead to important changes in the physiological mechanism of heating and humidification of inspired gases. The use of inspiratory mixture without adequate heating and humidification can result in important changes in morphological and functional proper…

• Abstract

  The temperature and humidity in a low-flow anesthesia workstation with and without thermal insulation of the breathing circuit or heat and moisture exchanger. The Dräger Fabius GS Premium (Germany) has a built-in hot plate to heat the gases in the breathing circuit and the fresh gas flow is (FGF) mixed with the exhaled gases after the soda lime canister. The temperature and the humidity o…
