Brief summary

The effects of preserving humidity and temperature by low flow anesthesia are different in each other anesthesia workstation.

Detailed description

The fresh gas flow(FGF) is dry and cold in old fashioned anesthesia machine, especially at high folw (above 1 L/min). To the contrary, it has been assumed that the heat and humidity of FGF may be preserved using low FGF (below 1 L/min) during anesthesia or new anesthesia work station. However, it has not been proved yet. We hypothesized that the heat and moisture of FGF may be different in various FGF rate during anesthesia. In addition, it may be different in accordance to anesthesia work station. Therefore, we planed prospective observational study that will demonstrate that the difference of heat and moisture of FGF in different anesthesia work station (Excel; 1st generation anesthesia machine of Datex-Ohmeda Corp., Avance; 2nd generation anesthesia work station of Datex-Ohmeda Corp., Cato; 2nd generation generation anesthesia work station of Drager, Primus; 3rd generation generation anesthesia work station of Drager) and different FGF (0.5, 1, 4 L/min)

Interventions

DEVICEDatex Ohmeda excel anesthesia machine

maintain one of following fresh gas flow, 1 or 4 L/min (nitrous oxide:oxygen =1:1) during 2 hour with using Datex Ohmeda excel anesthesia machine after draping complete

DEVICEDatex Ohmeda Avance anesthesia work-station

maintain one of following fresh gas flow, 0.5 or 1 or 4 L/min (nitrous oxide:oxygen =1:1) during 2 hour with using Datex Ohmeda Avance anesthesia machine after draping complete

DEVICEDrager Cato anesthesia work-station

maintain one of following fresh gas flow, 0.5 or 1 or 4 L/min (nitrous oxide:oxygen =1:1) during 2 hour with using Drager Cato anesthesia work-station after draping complete

DEVICEDrager Primus anesthesia work-station

maintain one of following fresh gas flow, 0.5 or 1 or 4 L/min (nitrous oxide:oxygen =1:1) during 2 hour with using Drager Primus anesthesia work-station after draping complete

MeasureTime frameDescription
absolute humidity at both limb of breathing circuit just distal portion of Y-piecetime point 1-11time point 1; base line value (fresh gas flow(FGF); 8L/min) time point 2; 5 mintues(min) after FGF change to predetermined level time point 3; 10 min after FGF change to predetermined level time point 4; 15 min after FGF change to predetermined level time point 5; 30 min after FGF change to predetermined level time point 6; 45 min after FGF change to predetermined level time point 7; 60 min time point 8; 75 min time point 9; 90 min time point 10; 105 min time point 11; 120 min

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
patient body temperature(BT)time point 1 -11measure BT using esophageal temperature probe each time points are same as primary outcome
