An anesthesia machine is a medical device used by anesthesiologists to administer anesthesia to patients during surgery or other medical procedures. It delivers a continuous and precise supply of medical gases (like oxygen and nitrous oxide), mixed with an anesthetic agent (like sevoflurane, isoflurane, or desflurane) to keep patients unconscious and pain-free. Below are some of the key components and functions of a typical anesthesia machine:
Description
Functions of an Anesthesia Machine
- Gas Delivery: Ensures a consistent supply of oxygen, nitrous oxide, and/or air, mixed with anesthetic agents.
- Ventilation: Controls the rate and volume of breaths delivered to the patient.
- Monitoring: Continuously tracks the patient’s vital signs and adjusts the anesthesia accordingly.
- Safety Alarms: Alerts the user in case of issues like low oxygen supply, high pressure, or equipment malfunction.
Safety Features
- Oxygen Failure Alarm: Alerts when oxygen pressure falls below a certain level.
- Interlock System: Prevents the simultaneous use of incompatible gases.
- Hypoxic Guard: Ensures that a minimum level of oxygen is always mixed with the other gases.
- Automatic Ventilator Cut-off: Stops mechanical ventilation if there’s a problem with gas delivery.
