title: [Closed circuit inhalation anesthesia. Consumption and cost].
abstract: Closed circuit anaesthesia (CCA) and minimal flow anaesthesia diminish inhalatory anaesthetic consumption. Consumption of inhalatory anaesthesia was calculated using two different techniques: CCA and "non rebreathing" system. Costs were compared on the basis of the official list price. The CCA allowed for reduced consumption at lower costs. The resulting annual savings are equal to one third of the total price of the whole apparatus with its complementary monitoring and control systems.
