  • Title: Factors affecting the rate of disappearance of sevoflurane in Baralyme.
    Author: Wong DT, Lerman J.
    Journal: Can J Anaesth; 1992 Apr; 39(4):366-9. PubMed ID: 1563060.
    Abstract:
    The effects of temperature, water and Baralyme exhaustion on the rate of disappearance of sevoflurane in Baralyme were studied in an in vitro model. We found that the rate of disappearance of sevoflurane in Baralyme increased as the temperature increased and decreased as the concentration of water increased. The disappearance of sevoflurane also decreased in the presence of exhausted Baralyme compared with fresh Baralyme. The slower rate of disappearance of sevoflurane in Baralyme in the presence of water and Baralyme exhaustion suggests that the disappearance of sevoflurane may be self-limiting in the clinical setting.
