The CO2 absorber should be changed after ____________.
What is 8 hours of use or every 14 days (whichever comes first)
Nonrebreathing anesthesia circuits require higher oxygen flow rates for this purpose.
What is to remove CO2 from the patient since this circuit bypasses the CO2 absorber.
Large patients placed in lateral recumbency are at risk of this anesthetic complication.
What is atelectasis and/or hypoventilation
Our patient is both bradycardic and hypotensive and is NOT too deeply anesthetized. This is the medication to administer to treat the problem.
