The preferred location of the fresh gas inlet is between:
- between the absorbent and the inspiratory valve.
Which is MOST LIKELY to occur with the degradation of sevoflurane by absorbent?
A. More degradation occurs at lower temperatures
B. More degradation occurs with lower concentrations
C. Desiccated absorbent decreases degradation
D. It is degraded more as the length of the anesthetic increases
