Summary

This is a single site, prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized, non-interventional study designed to evaluate the effect of changes in alveolar minute ventilation on the measurement of respiratory heat loss (enthalpy).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • age greater than 18 years
  • scheduled for an elective surgical procedure with an anticipated duration of more than 2 hours requiring general anesthesia and positive pressure ventilation using an endotracheal tube
  • patient status ASA 1, 2 or 3
  • no significant cardio-vascular or respiratory disease
  • supine surgical position

Exclusion Criteria

  • Adults unable to give primary consent
  • age less than 18 years
  • pregnancy
  • prisoners
  • pre-existing cardiac or pulmonary disease
  • infusion of inotropic drugs
  • positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) requirements >8 cm H2O
  • increased intra-abdominal pressure (e.g. planned surgical pneumoperitoneum or ascitis)
  • intra-operative patient position other than supine
