Comparative Study[Renal effects of prolonged sevoflurane anesthesia in Wistar rats].
To assess renal safety of sevoflurane administered to Wistar rats at clinical concentrations during prolonged periods of inhalation. ⋯ Sevoflurane at the doses tested increases inorganic fluoride concentrations although for both periods the levels stayed under 50 microM/l, which has been considered the nephrotoxic threshold. No signs of changes in renal function were observed in blood texts or tissue studies.

[Air seepage from endotracheal tube cuffs during anesthetic procedures. How to solve this problem without changing tubes? An experimental model using human tracheas].
To demonstrate by an experimental model that a continuous medicinal airflow system giving a pressure of 30 cmH2O effectively stops leakage from endotracheal tubes. ⋯ We found that adjusting flow and pressure is a valid way to stop leakage from small holes. The method does not control leakage from large holes or cuts.
