ABSTRACT

TABLE 1.2 (CONTINUED): RECOMMENDED ANESTHESIA PROTOCOLS

TABLE 1.3: ISOFLURANE AND SEVOFLURANE PARAMETERS

v. Total volume of O2 remaining in the tank may be calculated by __ psig × 0.3 = __ L (e.g., 1000 psig × 0.3 = 300 L left in the tank)

vi. Duration: 660 L O2 tank, using 2 L/min → 660/2 = 330 min

3. Pressure regulator

a. Maintains constant gas flow

b. Pressure-reducing valve reduces the tank pressure to about 45-50 psig.
