That is, how many milliliters are used in each surgery? I have searched for information regarding consumption by respiratory volume or per kg of weight but I cannot find information.
The approximate hourly consumption of anesthetic agents can be
expressed as follows: 3 x % x F Where % represents the setting of the vaporizer output percentage, F represents the input flow rate in
liter/min. Example: If a vaporizer is set to deliver 2% at 6 liters/min. total input gas flow rate: Approximate rate of agent consumption = 3 x 2 x 6 = 36 ml/hour.
