Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Use of isoflurane in a closed-circuit. Economic advantages].
The present study was designed to assess whether isoflurane requirement was significantly affected by fresh gas flow in a closed-circuit system. Sixty patients scheduled for orthopaedic procedures were randomly assigned into three groups. In group A (n = 20), anaesthesia was conducted with a fresh gas flow of 482.5 +/- 186.6 ml X min-1, corresponding to the patient's metabolic demand. ⋯ Alveolar concentration of isoflurane was set at 0.92 vol. % according to Lowe and Ernst. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's test for means. Anaesthesia lasted 138 +/- 88.3 min in group A, 125.5 +/- 45.1 min in group B and 146.5 +/- 50 min in group C, no difference being significant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
