Forster slipped in beside him, looking around, and moving to an anaesthetic machine.

General anaesthesia requires the anaesthetic machine, tested daily, as basic equipment.

The anaesthetic machine can also provide gas to ventilated patients that are not able to breathe on their own.

Eyeing the anaesthetic machine, she said, 'Are you sure I'll be able to cope?

The anaesthetic machine is usually mounted on anti-static wheels for convenient transportation.

Based on experience gained from analysis of mishaps, the modern anaesthetic machine incorporates several safety devices, including:

It is mounted on the anaesthetic machine in the same way as a plenum vaporizer, but its function is quite different.

The non-compensated type is more accurate for low flow rates, such as are used in neonatal units, laboratory experiments, or anaesthetic machines.

Until recently, an anaesthetic machine was often referred to as a "Boyle's Machine" in honour of his contribution.

Hospitals administer nitrous oxide as one of the anaesthetic drugs delivered by anaesthetic machines.

Fresh gas flow refers to the mixture of medical gases and volatile anaesthetic agents which is produced by an anaesthetic machine.

The plenum vaporizer is driven by positive pressure from the anaesthetic machine, and is usually mounted on the machine.

Modern anaesthetic machines have more rubber and plastic components which provide a reservoir for volatile anaesthetics, and should be flushed for 60 minutes.

They may have manual backup mechanisms to enable hand-driven respiration in the absence of power (such as the mechanical ventilator integrated into an anaesthetic machine).

Dr. Boyle was a left-hander and anaesthetic machines available all over the world are designed with controls and switches meant for a left-handed user!

Typically the fresh gas flow emerges from the common gas outlet, a specific outlet on the anaesthetic machine to which the breathing attachment is then connected.

Anaesthetic machines can be configured as rebreathers to provide oxygen and anaesthetic gases to a patient during surgery or other procedures that require sedation.

An anaesthetic vaporizer is a device generally attached to an anaesthetic machine which delivers a given concentration of a volatile anaesthetic agent.

Anaesthetic machines are fitted with a specialized anaesthetic vaporiser unit that heats liquid desflurane to a constant temperature.

It comes out of your mouth and instead of a mask over your face, your this tube connects directly to the ventilator and the anaesthetic machine.

While administering genearal anesthesia, the patient's expired gases, which contain carbon dioxide, are passed through an Anaesthetic machine breathing circuit filled with soda lime granules.

In dentistry a simplified version of the anaesthetic machine, without a ventilator or anaesthetic vaporiser, is referred to as a relative analgesia machine.

This includes medical ventilators, anaesthetic machines, heart-lung machines, ECMO, and dialysis machines.

This may involve preparing and checking the anaesthetic machines, intravenous drugs / fluids, and devices to maintain the patient's airway (e.g. laryngeal masks or endo-tracheal tubes).

Agent concentration measurement - Common anaesthetic machines have monitors to measure the per cent of inhalational anaesthetic agent used (e.g. sevoflurane, isoflurane, desflurane, halothane etc.).
