No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Fires and operating room pollution may occur when anesthesia gases leak into the oropharynx during airway surgery. Investigators sought to measure the concentrations of anesthetic gases that leak into the mouth of children undergoing adenotonsillectomy using cuffed and uncuffed tracheal tubes during spontaneous and controlled ventilation.

Conditions

  • Exposure to Environmental Pollution
  • Adverse Effect of Unspecified General Anesthetic

Interventions

DRUG

oxygen concentration

oxygen concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation

DRUG

nitrous oxide concentration

nitrous oxide concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation

DRUG

carbon dioxide concentration

carbon dioxide concentration will be measured from the tracheal tube and in the oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation

DRUG

sevoflurane concentration

sevoflurane concentration will be measured in the tracheal tube and oropharynx during spontaneous or controlled ventilation
