title: [Inhalation anesthesia in low-flow systems. Clinical evaluation of the kinetics of isoflurane in induction phase].
abstract: Closed circuit and low flow anaesthesia offer numerous advantages such as reduction of gas consumption, low cost, and less pollution in both the operating theatre and the environment. These procedures also offer increases in inspired gas humidity and temperature. However the time needed to attain the alveolar concentration MAC 95, is too long. Prefilling the whole circuit, the bellow and the bag with anaesthetic vapours shortens that time without overdosage.
