Background and Identification<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

GE Healthcare anesthesia machines are designed to provide anesthetic gas at constant pressure and oxygen for breathing and to remove carbon dioxide or other waste anesthetic gases. Anesthetic machines generally include a range of integrated systems for the monitoring of several vital parameters.<\/p>\n\n

The main instrument in an inhalational anesthetic delivery system is called an anesthetic machine. An anesthetic machine includes vaporizers, ventilators, an anesthetic breathing circuit, pressure gauges, and a waste gas scavenging system. Inhalational anesthetics are flammable, so various checklists have been developed to ensure the machine is ready for use, that electrical hazards are removed, and that safety measures are active. Intravenous anesthetics can be delivered either by an infusion pump or by bolus doses. Many other smaller instruments may be used for monitoring the patient. Modern anesthetic machinery is generally designed to be fail-safe to decrease the odds of catastrophic misuse of the machine. Anesthetic machines generally include a range of integrated systems for the monitoring of several vital parameters.<\/p>\n\n

GE Healthcare anesthesia machines generally include the name \u2018GE Healthcare\u2019 in capital letters at the top of the machine\u2019s front face. The model name or number is also included at the top of the machine\u2019s front face, often on the opposite side of the face than the name \u2018GE Healthcare.\u2019 Many GE Healthcare anesthesia machines are semi-portable and include wheels that allow the machine to be transported from room to room.<\/p>\n\n
