What if a gas used in anesthesia became a weapon against Alzheimer's disease? A recent study reveals that xenon, a noble gas, ...

Many monitors have the ability to measure gas parameters, such as CO 2 and anesthesia gas concentrations in the respiratory circuit. The most common technology used for gas analysis is sidestream ...

For cases where anesthetic gases are necessary for medical reasons, sevoflurane is used in what is known as the "minimal flow" method, meaning there is little flow of gas. Sevoflurane's greenhouse ...

Inhaled anesthetic agents include nitrous oxide (the oldest of all anesthetics) and various halogenated agents: desflurane (halogenated solely with fluorine halogenation increases potency and is ...

The state of Washington has proposed a similar study, with lawmakers considering allocating $840,000 to the state’s Department of Ecology to study the impact of anesthesia gas on the environment. The ...

potency of the anesthetic gas, and amount of anesthetic gas wasted are all factors that affect the cost of inhaled anesthetics. [2] The cost of an inhaled anesthetic can be estimated by ...
