In Vitro Performance of a Charcoal-capturing Device with Desflurane
CONTRAfluran charcoal filter in vitro performance for desflurane in oxygen/air combined with the Aisys workstation ranged from 93 to 103% with fresh gas flow of 0.3 to 6 l/min with vaporizer settings that reflect clinical conditions. Defining the place of charcoal filters in clinical practice requires full life-cycle analysis of both the charcoal and inhaled agent.
