Background: Sevoflurane anesthesia is usually performed with fresh gas Bow rates greater than 2 l/min due to the toxicity of compound A in rats and limited clinical experience with sevoflurane in low-flow systems, However, to reduce costs, it would be useful to identify ways to reduce compound A concentrations in low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. This goal of this study was to determine if compound A concentrations can be reduced by using soda lime with water added.Methods: Low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia (fresh gas from of 1 U/min) was performed in 37 patients using soda lime with water added (perhydrated soda lime) or standard soda lime as the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) absorbent. The soda lime was not changed between patients, but rather mas used until CO(2) rebreathing occurred. The perhydrated soda lime mas prepared by spraying 100 ml distilled mater onto 1 kg fresh soda lime, and water was added only when a new bag of soda lime was placed into the canister, Compound A concentrations in the circle system, soda lime temperatures, inspired and end-tidal CO(2) and end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, and CO(2) elimination by the patient mere measured during anesthesia.Results: Compound A concentrations were significantly lower for the perhydrated soda lime (1.9 +/- 1.8 ppm; means +/- SD) than for the standard soda lime (13.9 +/- 8.2 ppm). No differences were seen between the two types of soda lime with regard to the temperature of the soda lime, end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, or CO(2) elimination. Compound A concentration decreased with the total time of soda lime ase for both types of soda lime. The CO(2) absorption capacity was significantly less for perhydrated soda lime than for standard soda lime.Conclusions: Compound a concentrations in the circuit can be reduced by using soda lime with water added. The CO(2) absorption capacity of the soda lime is reduced by adding mater to it, but this should not be clinically significant.
