Question: Sulfur hexafluoride gas is used to support the retina during the repair of a retinal detachment. It is effective because it is extremely insoluble and very slowly absorbed, thus allowing enough time to hold the retina in the correct position. It is recommended that N2O not be used or discontinued at least 15 minutes prior to the installation of sulfur hexafluoride, since the inward diffusion of N2O can cause the sulfur hexafluoride bubble to expand, causing an increase in intraocular pressure. Subsequent discontinuation of N2O then causes the bubble to contract and may decrease the support to the retina. One of your colleagues (not you, since now you know better) failed to discontinue the administration of N2O during the installation of a 1 mL sulfur hexafluoride gas bubble. If the patient was receiving a 60% N2O-inspired concentration, by what factor will the pressure-volume relationship of the bubble increase?
