ABSTRACT

Our patients were followed up with more parameters during the surgery to improve patient safety while reducing the cost of anesthesia by opening the way to low flow anesthesia applications

A drop in fresh gas flow from 2.3 L/min to 1 L/min cause a reduction of approximately 30% in consumption of inhalation agent.

In the cases of general anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia, recording forms of cases with low flow (1 L/min fresh gas flow) and above this value were created and recorded for 4 months.

Unexpected events arising from surgical or anesthetic intervention may occur and it is possible to minimizing these events with close observation and monitoring patients in parallel with technological developments. It is also economical to obtain low-flow anesthesia with new generation anesthesia devices. In this regard, we think that we will be able to follow our patients more safely, have fewer complications, and have a significant economic gain. In this respect, it is aimed to investigate the use of new anesthesia devices and how much to save anesthetic agents during low flow application.
