Which is not compatible with Soda lime :: (A) Halothane, (B) Ether, (C) N2O, (D) Trilene
Answer is D. Ans. is 'd' i.e. Trilene Soda lime is a mixture of* -90% Ca(OH)2*5 % Sodium Hydroxide*1 % Potassium Hydroxide*Silicates*Soda lime is used to absorb CO2. When it absorbs CO2 it produces heat. All volatile anaesthetic agents are decomposed by the heat produced as a result of absorption of CO2 by Soda lime.Thermal decomposition of trilene (tricolor ethylene) and Sevoflurane results in toxic compounds therefore neither of them should be used with soda lime.
