A simple and inexpensive nasal cannula to prevent rebreathing for spontaneously breathing patients under surgical drapes.
A new nasal cannula that provides oxygenation and suctioning simultaneously prevents rebreathing during surgery in spontaneously breathing patients under surgical drapes. When air is not suctioned, inspired CO(2) levels increase significantly, whereas suctioning prevents this increase. Expiratory CO(2), respiratory rate, heart rate, and arterial blood pressure remain stable regardless of suctioning.
