|
How do we reduce the likelihood of bites |
Look for responses Tapes or ties to pull on tube Keep fingers out! |
|
|
How do we reduce self administation |
Lables Be aware of mm absorbtion route Care with recapping Wash immediately if splashing |
|
|
Reducing exposure to anaesthetic gas |
Check for leaks Avoid turning on unless ETT cuff inflated Passive or active scavenging Empty bag into scavenger before disconnectiong Key filler vapourisers to avoid spills Good ventillation in theatre and recovery Ensure masks are used if appropriate |
|
|
Passive scavenging |
Long tube out a window Can be blown back in Charcoal absorbers for volatile only do not use for nitrous |
|
|
Active scavenging |
Fans draw waste gases out Need air break to prevent drawing out of breathing system Should be serviced and checked |
|
|
Prevent cylinder problems |
Appropriate storage Care when carrying Be aware of lubricants and fire risk Be aware of heat sources |
