| abstract |
The present application describes a process for removing toxic compounds, namely carbon dioxide, present in gas streams in anesthesia circuits, using membrane contactors. The present process allows for the recirculation of anesthesia gases, C0 2 free, to the anesthetized subject, aswell as the recirculation of the receiving absorber liquid phase, from which the CO 2 is removed. The present application also describes the use of this procedure in the field of medicine, namely its in-situ use during medical interventions, in which the subject is anesthetized. |
