Anaesthetic Gases

Various anesthetic gases are used in hospitals. Gas monitoring may need to be performed in operating theatres for occupational exposure, or for leak detection in gas storage areas. Another significant area of anaesthetic gas exposure is recovery rooms, patients who are waking up from surgery may be exhaling anesthetic gases in concentrations well above the occupational exposure limit (in some cases several hundreds of ppm).

Examples of the anaesthetic gases that may need to be monitiored:

Nitrous Oxide  N2O
Sevoflurane  CF3CH(CF3)OCH2F
Halothane  CF3CHBrCl
Desiflurane  CF3CHFOCHF2
Enflurane  CHF2OCF2CHClF
