The anesthesia gas machine is a device which delivers a precisely-known but variable gas mixture, including anesthetizing and life-sustaining gases. The anesthesia gas machine is also called the anesthesia workstation, or anesthesia delivery system.
These are lecture notes on the anesthesia gas machine and related topics such as vaporization. Anesthesia equipment is described in a manner useful to nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) or physicians in anesthesiology.
An anaesthetic machine (British English) or anesthesia machine (American English) is a medical device used to generate and mix a fresh gas flow of medical gases and inhalational anaesthetic agents for the purpose of inducing and maintaining anaesthesia.

Gas (oxygen, air, nitrous oxide) enters the anesthesia machine through a pipeline supply and cylinder gas supply. The primary source of gas is typically the pipeline supply, which functions at 45 to 60 psi (the intermediate pressure system).

A "virtual anesthesia machine" is an animated gas machine illustration on computer screen, which is modifiable when the user selects different gas flows, vapor concentrations, etc. It requires Shockwave, or there is a downloadable version.
An Anesthesia Gas Machine is defined as a medical device that consists of a gas delivery system, a patient breathing system, and a scavenger system, used to administer a defined mixture of gases to patients during anesthesia procedures.
The anesthesia machine receives gases under pressure from their sources of storage (see Chapter 1 ), creates a gas mixture of known composition and flow rate, and delivers it to a concentration-calibrated vaporizer, which adds a controlled concentration of potent, inhaled, volatile anesthetic agent. The resulting mixture of oxygen—with or ...
The machine performs four essential functions: (i) provides oxygen; (ii) accurately mixes anaesthetic gases and vapours; (iii) enables patient ventilation; and (iv) minimizes anaesthesia-related risks to patients and staff.
