Intro:
An anaesthetic machine (British English) or anesthesia machine (American English) is a medical device used to generate and mix a fresh gas flow of medical gases and inhalational anaesthetic agents for the purpose of inducing and maintaining anaesthesia.
Tech:
🔵Connections to piped oxygen, medical air, and nitrous oxide from a wall supply in the healthcare facility, or reserve gas cylinders of oxygen, air, and nitrous oxide attached via a pin index safety system yoke with a Bodok seal.
🔴Pressure gauges, regulators and 'pop-off' valves, to monitor gas pressure throughout the system and protect the machine components and patient from excessive rises.
🟠Flowmeters such as rotameters for oxygen, air, and nitrous oxide.
🟣Vaporisers to provide accurate dosage control when using volatile anaesthetics.
🟡A high-flow oxygen flush, which bypasses the flowmeters and vaporisers to provide pure oxygen at 30-75 litres/minute.
🟢Systems for monitoring the gases being administered to, and exhaled by, the patient, including an oxygen failure warning device.
