Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast
#232 Embracing Safety and Sustainability in Anesthesia Care
10 Dec 2024
What happens when a defective CO2 absorbent canister leads to ventilation failure during surgery? Our latest episode uncovers the hidden risks of hypoventilation and leaks in anesthesia machines following intra-procedure CO2 canister replacement. We discuss the critical role of manufacturers in providing warnings about potential equipment failures, the importance of backup systems, and the environmental considerations of CO2 absorbent usage and low flow anesthesia. By examining real-world scenarios and various ventilator types, we equip you with strategies to enhance patient safety, all while balancing the benefits of reduced gas flows with the ecological impact of absorbent materials. Tune in to explore these vital topics and the ways in which you can contribute to a safer future in anesthesia care.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/232-embracing-safety-and-sustainability-in-anesthesia-care/© 2024, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
