Quantitative Anaesthesia Management and Optimization of Machine-User Interface

  • Chapter
Quantitative Anaesthesia

Abstract

It is fitting that quantitative anaesthesia management be featured in a workshop on low-flow systems. The management of low-flow systems by the anaesthetist is not intuitive, especially with potent inhaled agents, and if performed improperly can be downright dangerous. Not only must a considerable amount of quantitative information be available to help run these systems properly, but the information must be accurate. Unfortunately, few studies have been performed on this topic, and suitable data are often not available to make useful recommendations. Thus, this essay will ask more questions than it answers.
