Anesthesia Equipment and Supplies

Simply put, anesthesia machines are used by anesthetists for the administration of an anesthesia. The most common type of anesthesia machine is a continuous-flow machine, which gives the patient a continuous and accurate amount of medical gases, like oxygen and nitrous oxide. These gases are then mixed with a certain concentration of anesthetic vapor, such as isoflurane. The mixture is then delivered to the patient with a safe pressure and flow.

Of course, modern machines now incorporate a ventilator, suction unit, and patient monitoring devices. These devices may include monitors for heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and others. For safety, an anesthesia machine is equipped with alarms to signal if any monitors sense the patient may be in danger. Modern machines also have battery back ups, should the electricity fail.
