peer agreement (net): +3| Le XYZ est balayé à l’azote XYZ is flushed with nitrogen Explanation: I'd go with your first one: nitrogen is being used to flush XYZ, "flush" is certainly commonly used in anesthetic machines to describe filling the system and clearing it out with one particular gas. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2004-08-04 15:46:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A few refs to back up my \"flushing\" theory - honest it is the most commonly used term when dealing with anesthetic gases, just do a google search!: http://www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/cgi/content/abstract/64/... \"Please note that the Kion requires flushing before use on a susceptible patient for 25 minutes- four times as long as required by an Excel 210 (Anesthesiology 2002;96:941-6). Any new equipment has the potential to contain internal components that absorb agent, so each model should be tested before it can be accepted that the standard procedures apply.\" \" The high price of xenon has prevented its use in routine, clinic anaesthetic practice. Xenon therefore has to be delivered by closed-circuit anaesthesia. The accumulation of nitrogen is a significant problem within the closed circuit and necessitates flushing, which in turn increases gas expenditure and costs. \" |
