Abstract
Any technique that employs a fresh gas flow that is less than the alveolar
ventilation can be classified as low-flow anesthesia. The complexities involved
in the calculation of uptake of anesthetic agents during the closed-circuit
anesthesia made this technique less popular. However, the awareness of the
dangers of operating theatre pollution with trace amounts of the anesthetic
agents and the prohibitively high cost of the new inhalational agents, have
helped in the rediscovery of low-flow anesthesia.
