Brief summary

Low-flow anesthesia (LFA) is a technique in which at least 50% of the exhaled air, after carbon dioxide absorption, is mixed with a certain amount of fresh gas and returned to the patient during the next inspiration. In 1974, R. Virtue defined minimal flow anesthesia (MFA) as 0.5 L/min. In 1984, Baker and Simionescu classified LFA as 0.5-1 L/min and MFA as 0.25-0.5 L/min. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are hemodynamic differences between open-heart surgery cases performed with LFA at different fresh gas flow rates.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
physiological parameter ; heart rateIntraoperativelyHeart rate will be recorded every 10 minutes, expressed as beats per minute, starting before induction and including the sternotomy and pericardiotomy periods.
physiological parameter; systolic/diastolic blood pressureIntraoperativelySystolic and diastolic blood pressure will be recorded every 10 minutes in mmHg, starting before induction and including the sternotomy and pericardiotomy periods.
physiological parameter; SpO2IntraoperativelySpO2 will be recorded as a percentage every 10 minutes, starting before induction and including the sternotomy and pericardiotomy periods.
Monitoring parameter; Bispectral Index (BIS)IntraoperativelyThe BIS value will be recorded numerically every 10 minutes, starting from before induction and including the sternotomy and pericardiotomy periods.
Monitoring parameter; Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)IntraoperativelyThe MAC value will be recorded numerically every 10 minutes, starting from before induction and including the sternotomy and pericardiotomy periods.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Preoperative data; ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) classification24 hours before surgeryDuring the preoperative period, preoperative data, including the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification, will be recorded. The ASA classification is used to assess the patient's preoperative physical status and perioperative risk, with higher ASA classes (I-IV) indicating increased systemic disease severity and perioperative risk.
Preoperative data24 hours before surgeryIn the preoperative period, the degree of valve dysfunction (such as I.degree TY, II.degree MY) of the patients will be recorded.
Preoperaitive data24 hours before surgeryIn the preoperative period, the patient's ejection fraction will be recorded as a percentage.
