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 the skeletal muscles. This equipment is a mixture of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic components, and integrates all the components necessary to perform general anesthesia and includes vaporizers, ventilators, breathing systems, monitors, and sweep systems.
These medical teams safely, adequately, scheduled and continuously or intermittently supply the administration of oxygen, medicinal gases and anesthetic agents; allowing spontaneous or controlled ventilation of the patient.
They are very important equipment in the surgical process, since it creates optimal and safe conditions for the work of surgeons. Modern anesthesia machines make it possible to monitor a number of vital functions and even calculate particular dose ranges.
Anesthesia machines receive medicinal gases and accurately distribute the flow and pressure of each gas according to the needs of the patient, these settings are usually inserted manually. These must be handled by highly qualified personnel trained in their use, who must also periodically verify their calibrations and operation.
Types of anesthesia machines
When choosing an anesthesia machine for your institution, you must take into account that it offers the possibility of monitoring the patient’s condition to guarantee full functionality to anesthesiologists and other medical professionals involved in the surgical procedure. Among the most common models we have:
- Continuous flow: They are the most used. They are designed to provide a precise supply of medical gases (oxygen, nitrous oxide and air) mixed with a precise concentration of anesthetic vapor, continuously delivering this mixture of gases to the patient safely. They can be used to administer general anesthesia to patients while undergoing medical procedures in operating rooms, delivery rooms, diagnostic or outpatient surgery centers.
- Intermittent flow: This type of anesthesia machine provides a gas flow on demand when it is activated by the patient’s own inspiration.
