Anesthesia machines are specialized medical equipment used to administer an anesthetic agent to a patient during a surgical procedure. This gas, or anesthetic agent, promotes the inhibition of the functioning of skeletal muscles. The equipment is a mixture of electrical, mechanical and pneumatic components, and integrates all components necessary for general anesthesia, including vaporizers, fans, breathing systems, monitors and scanning systems.
These medical teams safely, adequately, programmed, and continuously or intermittently supply oxygen, medicinal gases, and anesthetic agents, thus permitting spontaneous or controlled ventilation of the patient.
They are very important teams in the surgical process, as it creates optimal and safe conditions for the work of surgeons. Modern anesthetic machines allow you to control a number of vital functions and still calculate particular dose ranges.
Anesthesia machines receive medicinal gases and accurately distribute the flow and pressure of each gas according to the patient’s needs, these settings are usually manually inserted. These should be handled by highly qualified and trained personnel, who should also periodically verify their calibrations and functioning.
Types of anesthesia machines
When choosing an anesthetic machine for your institution, you should take into account that it offers the possibility of monitoring the patient’s condition to ensure full functionality to anesthesiologists and other medical professionals involved in the surgical procedure. Among the most common models we have:
- Continuous flow: These are most commonly used. They are designed to provide an accurate supply of medicinal gases (oxygen, nitrous oxide, and air) mixed with an accurate concentration of anesthetic vapor, continuously delivering this gas mixture to the patient in a safe manner. They can sometimes be used to give general anesthesia to patients while undergoing medical procedures in operating rooms, labor rooms, diagnostic centers, or outpatient surgeries.
- Intermittent flow: Such anesthesia machines provide gas flow on demand when activated by the patient’s own inspiration.
