  • Title: The Rees system in infants: fresh gas flow and PaCO2.
    Author: Bennett EJ, Ignacio A, Patel K, Grundy EM, Dalal FY, Salem MR.
    Journal: Middle East J Anaesthesiol; 1978 Oct; 5(2):107-20. PubMed ID: 581774.
    Abstract:
    Fresh gas flow from the anaesthetic machine can be set to determine the low level of PaCO2 that is achieved during anaesthesia using Rees variation of the T-piece. It does not however set the upper limits for PaCO2 which is more reliant upon the minute ventilation. For a PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg, it is suggested that the fresh gas flow from the machine be 220 cc/kg. For small infants, a higher flow rate is necessary.
