Abstract
Anaesthesia apparatus which is suitable for use in administering inhalation anaesthetics to both adult and pediatric patients consists essentially of a linear circuit type of anaesthesia apparatus which is modified by providing means for recycling excess gases leaving the linear circuit part of the apparatus through an absorber of CO2 gas and resupplying the thus-treated gases to the linear circuit mixed with fresh gases as desired.
Description
This invention relates to anaesthesia apparatus, and in particular to
anaesthesia apparatus which is suitable for use in administering inhalation anaesthetics, to both adult and pediatric patients. At the same time, the invention is related with the cost-benefit of the anaesthesia.
2335604 ANAESTHESIA APPARATUS The type of circuit used in pediatric patients is usually described as a 1inear circuit", typical designs being those described as Mapleson D, Bain and Jackson-Rees. The particular advantages of linear circuits are their lightness and flexibility, low internal volume and simplicity. However, for adult patients, anaesthesia apparatus described as "circular circuits" are usually employed.
In pediatric anaesthesia and using any linear circuit, the fresh gas flow -oxygen, oxygen plus nitrous oxide, air-, varies between three to six litres per minute, whereas in a circular circuit the fresh gas flow varies between two to four litres per minute, except in the case of 9ow flow technique", where that flow per minute is 0.5 to one litre.
The amount of the fresh gas flows used is the fundamental determining factor of inhalation anaesthetics consumption.
Nowadays, Seyoflurane and Desfiurane -volatile anaesthetics-, are often not used in linear circuits because the high consumption, and they ire replaced by some of the not new anaesthetics -Halothane, Isoflurane-, which are less expensive.
Because of the expense of anaesthetics such as Seyoflurane and Desflurane, the idea of 1ow flow technique" has been promoted. However, this is not applicable to pedintric anaesthesia because 1ow flow technique" requires the use of a circular circuit -circuit with carbon dioxide adsorber-.
The applicant has discovered a solution to the above mentioned problems. The invention permits the simultaneous use of a linear circuit and a circular circuit to administer inhalation anaesthesia. The circular circuit with an active pumped flow of gas through itself, and at the same time, the linear circuit have similar characteristics to those actually in use linear circuits. The apparatus can be used in pediatric and adult anaesthesia. Spontaneous, manual or mechanical ventilation can be used.
It will be seen that the new anaesthetic apparatus or the invention, can be made as in ensemble of new pieces or by adaptation of a conventional linear circuit and a conventional circular circuit.
The new apparatus as designed above enables an anaesthetist to use it linear circuit, which is light, simple, has no directional valves, hygienic, inexpensive. In fact, is particularly suitable for pediatric anaesthesia, oral, neck or head surgery in adults or children. Further, it allows the use of a linear circuit with flows so low, that it is as much applicable to children as adults. As is known, usually in both cases with linear circuits the fresh gas flow is very high.
Furthermore, the heavy part of the anaesthesia machine do not necessarily need to he very near the head or the patient.
The new apparatus can be used in all general anaesthesia procedures, which means that once it is set up in the anaesthesia machine, there is no need to put in or take out parts, which furthermore, makes it safer to use.
Furthermore, the most remarkable characteristic of the new apparatus is: It recycles ventilatory gas mixture leaving the linear circuit Habitually, excess gas leaving the traditional linear circuit goes to the ambient air or to an scavenging system 7We new circuit recycles that gas through a canister containing some carbon dioxide adsorber 15 7Aen, thefree of carbon dioAcidi'gas re is pumped once again into the linear circuit 77zat gas mixture is composed by oxygen, water vapor oxygen plus nitrous oxide if used, and anaesthetic vapor -volatile anaesthetic---.
Just the linear circuit is in the hands of the anaesthetist and near the head of the 20 patient, all the other components or the new apparatus are on the anaesthesia machine.
Additionally, the new circuit allows the use of most of the parts of a conventional anaesthesia machine, such as flowmeters, vaporizers, ventilators and part of the conventional circuits if necessary.
The new apparatus minimizes contamination and avoids the cumulative dirt of conventional circular circuits. For those who so wish, it permits the use of the "low flow technique" or the "closed system" anaesthetic administration.
The invention and its different modalities will now be illustrated with reference to the particular arrangements, which are shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1, like a glossary, represents in schemes those different parts related to the new apparatus and those adapted from the traditional artaesthesia machine.
Fig. 2, represents in diagrammatic form the classical linear and circular circuit, both as used for manual and mechanical ventilation of the patient's lung.
Fig. 3 to 8 inclusive show the six different modalities of the new apparatus -configuration and application-.

(Fig. 3 with references in Fig. 1) Fresh gas flow (F2) (oxygen, oxygen-nitrous oxide, anaesthetic vapor) is provided by the flowmeters and vaporizer (21) belonging to the anaesthesib machine. There are two optional ways for the fresh gas flow (1413, 14A): a- to the canister (1) and b- to be mixed with the pumped flow (F3). The amount of the fresh gas flow and the pumped flow is regulated by the anaesthetist according to the patient necessities (body weight, period of the anaesthetic procedure, ventilation mode). When the optional direct way for fresh gas flow is applied (14A), flow entering to the linear circuit (F1) is the mix of fresh gas flow (F2) and the pumped gas (F3), and just the pumped gas (F3) if fresh gas flow goes to the canister (1) using the another option (149) -the mixture is done into the canister-.

Intermittent gas flow leaving the linear circuit (F4) through its manual pop-off valve (18), goes to the 3-way valve (19) using the connecting tube (3). At the 3-way valve (19), flow is divided in two difTerent ways: a- to the canister (1) suctioned by the pump (6) and b- to the reservoir bag (11) and to the ambient air (21) through the automatic pop-off valve (9) (excess gas).
