Description
A complex workstation that provides controlled delivery of gases, vaporizers for volatile anesthetics, ventilator modes, scavenging systems, and monitoring interfaces to support safe general anesthesia and airway management. Anesthesia machines require preuse checkout, leak testing, and integration with monitoring devices such as capnography and pulse oximetry to ensure patient safety; maintenance and staff training are critical to prevent equipment related adverse events. Modern machines include advanced ventilators, electronic record integration, and safety interlocks to support a wide range of anesthetic techniques and patient populations.
