An anesthetic machine is a vital piece of medical equipment used to deliver precise concentrations of anesthetic gases to patients during surgical procedures. It is imperative to ensure the proper functioning of anesthetic machines before administering anesthesia.
Regular and thorough checks contribute to patient safety by minimizing the risk of complications associated with anesthesia delivery. Historically, anesthesia machines were relatively simple, but advancements in technology have introduced greater complexity, necessitating comprehensive checks.
