Adsorption of Halothane from a Paediatric T-Piece Circuit by Activated Charcoal

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to compare the efficacy oj six commonly available charcoals in adsorbing halothane in a paediatric T-piece system. Tests were also done to compare the effect oj mass oj charcoal and canister shape and size on adsorption and airways resistance. It was jound that charcoals vary in their adsorptive capacity and that the size and shape oj cannisters

“…It has been reported that a charcoal filter attached within the circuit may efficiently adsorb halothane2-4 or isoflurane5-7 in low or minimal flow system and eventually hasten anesthetic recovery without adverse effects on the humidity or resistance of the circuit 2,8. However, few clinical studies have reported on the adsorptive effect of charcoal during recovery from sevoflurane with a lower solubility and rapid offset of action,9,10 especially using conventional high fresh gas flow system in semi-closed circuit.…”
