Anesthesia machine

GLOSSARY

DEVELOP

The anesthesia machine is a set of elements that allow administering anesthetic and medical gases to the patient, both in controlled and spontaneous ventilation.

There are different anesthesia machines, whether pneumatic, electronic or microcontrolled. They usually consist of:

These use different types of gases that are: Oxygen, medicinal air and in some cases nitrous oxide. In addition, we find the anesthetic agents among them are:

• Halothane
• Enflurane
• Isoflurane
• Sevoflurane
• Desflurane

Simulation

The simulation was developing in Lab-volt software designed for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, in the panel you can see the use of compressors that work like oxygen and air pumps, on the right side there are flow valves and manometer symbols, the distribution is directed to a flow meter that simulates the part of the sensor that is in the machine, an accumulator is distributed to represent the tank, along with this is an air mattress that allows distributing the flow back to the system.

A Y-valve represents the patient circuit and a cylinder system shows the inspiratory and expiratory phase of the patient, a directional motor also comes into play at the time of the simulator, is responsible for moving the last step that is seen in the lower part of the patient. the work table.
