You may be able to reduce the risk of surgical fires in local anesthesia and conscious sedation cases by using Paragon Service's PS8000 SmartBlend oxygen/air blender, says the company. During cases in which the delivery of 100 percent oxygen is not necessary or desired, set the Smartblend to deliver 21 percent to 100 percent oxygen and the desired LPM flow. Delivering less open oxygen means you decrease the risk of oxygen-enriched surgical fires, says the company. The PS8000 lists for $2,395; quantity discounts are available.
