Bottled isoflurane, as an important anesthetic, is widely used in clinical surgery. It has the advantages of rapid onset and low side effects, and is especially suitable for situations where the depth of anesthesia needs to be carefully adjusted. However, attention should be paid to its possible side effects, especially in high concentration, and the operation should be strictly in accordance with the instructions of anesthesiologists.
Matters Needing Attention in the Use of Bottled Isoflurane
Opening mode: When opening the bottled isoflurane, make sure that the operating environment is well ventilated. Check whether the bottle cap or cork is intact first, and then open it carefully. Some bottled isoflurane may be equipped with special opening devices, such as child-resistant bottle caps, to ensure the safety of drugs.
Extraction method: Use a special syringe (such as a precise calibration syringe) to extract isoflurane. When inserting the syringe needle into the bottle stopper, it should be inserted vertically and gently to avoid damaging the bottle stopper and causing isoflurane leakage or pollution. In the process of extraction, it is necessary to extract accurately according to the required dose, and at the same time, be careful not to let isoflurane touch the skin and eyes, because isoflurane may stimulate local tissues.
Connection with anesthesia equipment: ఐసోఫ్లోరేన్ after extraction should be correctly connected to the volatilization tank of anesthesia machine. Ensure tight connection to prevent aerrane isoflurane from leaking during transportation. In the connection process, the operation instructions of anesthesia machine and volatilization tank should be followed to ensure that isoflurane can be accurately volatilized according to the set concentration and delivered to patients.
Validity and Quality Control of Bottled Isoflurane
Expiry date marking: the expiration date of the drug will be clearly marked on the bottle. Generally speaking, the validity period of isoflurane is about 1 3 years, and the specific validity period depends on the manufacturer and storage conditions of the drug. Use within the validity period can ensure the quality and anesthetic effect of drugs.
Quality inspection method: Before using bottled isoflurane, medical staff can not only check the expiration date, but also observe the appearance of the drug to preliminarily judge its quality. Normal isoflurane is a colorless and transparent liquid. If turbidity, precipitation or discoloration are found in the liquid, it is likely that the drug has deteriorated and can no longer be used. In addition, some professional testing equipment can be used to test the purity and concentration of isoflurane to ensure that it meets the quality requirements.
