DMR, the anesthetic revolution compromised with the environment.
-this software allows the optimization of anesthesia machines, obtaining the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases, with the resulting cost savings and environmental.
-its implantation in anesthesia rooms allows to achieve a 90% savings in the consumption of oxygen in operating room.
– eliminates the toxic contamination of operating and ensures minimum environmental pollution caused by halogenated anesthetics discharges to the atmosphere
Barcelona, March of 2011- the DMR software is the latest revolution in the halls of anesthesia, a patented method that allows the optimization of the machines of anesthesia, obtaining the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases and the consequent economic savings and environmental.
the anaesthetic gases are small amounts of volatile anesthetic gases coming out of the circuit of anesthesia of the patient to the air in the operating room during the administration of anesthesia.
a variety of hospital staff (anesthesiologists, surgical nurses, surgeons, etc.) is exposed to inhalation of these gases, in the event that the operating rooms do not have gas extraction systems. The effects of exposure to high concentrations are sore head, irritability, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, diseases of liver and kidneys, reasoning and coordination difficulties …
distributed by the company ApplitecOptimizing, the software was created by the prestigious anesthesiologist Dr. Jaume Mas, expert in mechanical ventilation in Anesthesia and intensive care from 1960 until 2011 and also expert in anesthesia circuits closed from 1957 until the present day, providing annual training courses at the Academy of medical sciences of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands through the partnership Catalan of Anesthesiology, resuscitation and pain treatment (S.C.A.R.D.).
maximum optimization.
DMR includes the patented method M.A.A.S (Minimalflow self AnaesthesiaSystem), which allows the optimization of the machines of anesthesia in the sense of getting the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases. The system of minimum flows provides, allows to obtain a savings in the consumption of anaesthetic gases in the order of 85% compared to the system of high flows (open circuit) used regularly. Number of studies guarantee savings in high flows (open circuit) exceeding 25 EUR per hour, while minimum flows (closed circuit) Gets a close to five euros/hour saving.
in addition, the introduction of the DMR software in the halls of anesthesia allows get a 90% savings in the consumption of oxygen in the operating room, the abolition of the use of protóxico nitrogen and its associated facilities, in addition to a considerable reduction in the use of intravenous drugs (analgesics)(, relaxing, etc.).
obtained the connection, DMR information provided following the anesthesiologist during the anaesthetic: ventilation to each patient, correction of the changes that occur during the operative event, calculation of continuous alveolar ventilation (on-line), respiratory quotient and control of respiratory spareconsumption/min, the constant faith CO2 stabilisation of O2, providing minimum volatile anesthetic to keep the fMAC to the concentration proposed by the anesthesiologist and calculate the time of induction anesthetic.
the program also calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of the model of anesthesia inhalation used, indicating the deviations as a percentage of these parameters constantly. In addition, reports the cost /m according to the method and used anesthetic and the final cost of the anesthesia.
commitment to the environment.
according to a recent joint study by the University of Copenhagen and NASA, the anaesthetic gases used by doctors and dentists in medical procedures have a strong environmental impact. This work indicates that a kilo of anesthetic gas can affect the environment in the same way as 1,620 kilograms of CO2. It is estimated that the annual amount of anesthetic gas released into the atmosphere has the same impact as the one million cars. CO2 emissions
environmental benefits which DMR allows to obtain are, among others, the Elimination of toxic operating pollution (including the law on prevention of labour risks) and ensure minimal contamination me-dioambiental caused by halogenated anesthetics discharges to the atmosphere.
the program is in the line of multiple actions, all oriented to minimize climate change. Nitrous oxide nitrogen and halogenated volatile anaesthetics are destroyers of the ozone layer and have greenhouse. The volatile anaesthetics represent about 1% of the total of chlorofluorocarbons discharges into the atmosphere, according to countries, and the software DMR contributes to the total decrease of contamination of the surgical areas. Also allows working minimum flows with the maximum safety to maintain temperature at 30 degrees and the humidity 80% in the anaesthetic circuit without heaters and humidifiers external.
If we add to that provided for the use of Xenon, very little anesthetic gas and high cost optimization seems as something essential and software using DMR to minimum flows is therefore a great opportunity highly recommended.
the trend in more advanced countries is the use techniques of minimum and minimum flows, so most manufacturers offer machines which, by their design, are perfectly suited for this type of flow. Anesthesia workstations meet all the requirements of monitoring for safe use of general anesthesia with minimal flow techniques, so the lack of monitoring is no longer an excuse to implement them.
