Low and Minimal-flow Anesthesia in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Patients: Which One is Ideal?

Öz

Objective Low and Minimal-flow Anesthesia, despite its advantages, including cost and pollution reduction and less heat/moisture loss, has limited prevalence due to concerns of complications and the need for closer monitoring. The objective of this study was to assess the benefits and risks of low- and minimal-flow anesthesia in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery. Material and Methods Conducted at Akdeniz University, 149 ASA 1-2 class patients were categorized into four Fresh Gas Flow (FGF) groups post-anesthesia induction. Data collected included vital signs, complications, operation and awakening times, and gas use. Results There were no significant differences in demographics or ASA classification. However, variations in oxygen, air and sevoflurane use across the various FGF groups were identified (p<0.05). Usage increased significantly from minimal to high-flow groups. Sevoflurane use was lowest at minimal-flow, increasing through to high-flow. The study found no significant difference in sevoflurane use between low and medium-flow groups. A progressive increase in recovery times was observed from high to minimal-flow groups, with no differences in operation times or hemodynamic parameters and complications. Conclusion The study suggests that low- and minimal-flow anesthesia can be safely used in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery with detailed monitoring. With similar gas usage and cost between low and medium-flow anesthesia, minimal-flow is recommended as the more rational choice.
