Clinical Set-up
Critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) almost always
require mechanical ventilation. Optimum sedation of these patients is
essential to maximise survival rates, reduce the length of stay in the ICU
and facilitate the management and treatment of the condition.
Objectives include; individual control of sedation levels, optimum /
minimum use of analgesics, stable sedation levels, minimum tolerance
build up, optimal ventilation patterns and short weaning process.
Due to their pharmacological properties, volatile anaesthetics are ideal
sedative agents in terms of achieving these objectives, and for decades
have proven their efficiency and safety in general anaesthesia. It is well
known that anaesthetic agents in the ICU are an attractive alternative
to intravenous drugs.
Until recently, complex technical equipment was a crucial factor in restricting the use of volatile agents in the ICU.
Anaesthesia machines were the only option available in difficult sedation cases. This is no longer the case. With its
unique design, the AnaConDa allows the administration of volatile anaesthetic agents in a safe and simple manner
without the need for an anaesthetic machine.

Description of operation
Start of expiration
At the start of expiration the air way contains Air/
Oxygen, CO2 and anaesthetic agents.
CO2
Air/oxygen
Anaesthetic agents
Expiration
Air/Oxygen and CO2 passes the active carbon into
the ventilator circuit and through the ventilator
exhaust. The anaesthetic agent is adsorbed into the
active carbon.
Many studies highlighting these advantages have been published over the last ten years.

Some key benefits of AnaConDa
• Superior Conservation of anaesthetic due to the reflection of up to 90% of the volatile agent.
• The ability to easily Control the level of patient sedation.
• Simple setup of the AnaConDa between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece of the ventilator.

The AnaConDa contains various filter technologies and
a miniature vaporiser to allow continuous delivery and
vaporisation of volatile anaesthetic agents. (Isoflurane or
Sevoflurane)
During continued breathing the anaesthetic agent is
recirculated through the device. More than 90% of the
expired anaesthetic is retained by the carbon filter during
expiration. Together with the retained anaesthetic, only an
additional 10% is needed on each inspiration in order to
achieve the required dosage.
In addition the AnaConDa acts as an excellent heat and
moisture exchanger and also contains a viral / bacterial
filter.
