If you are only working with rats, mice, cats, ferrets and other like sized creatures, you do NOT need a CO2 Absorber (a.k.a. rebreathing head, SodaSorb container) on your anesthesia machine. 2. You need a “carrier gas” supply. This gas, usually oxygen or medical air, carries the anesthetic vapor into the patient’s...

Anesthesia Machine This term includes the frame, yoke(s), flowmeter(s), vaporizer(s), oxygen flush assembly and all hoses and connections. Regulator(s) The regulator(s) are responsible for reducing the supply tank pressure to specified levels. Oxygen Flush Assembly The flush assembly is responsible for purging all waste gas from the induction chamber. Vaporizer The vaporizer is responsible for changing the liquid agent to a vapor which the patient can inhale. It then delivers the vapor into the moving steam of oxygen in controllable amounts. Reconditioned Vaporizer In human medicine, a...

Inhalation Anesthesia Information VetEquip Anesthesia Book The “Need To Know” book. Have you wondered what a “MAC” value is? How is it determined and what factors affect it? Is your anesthesia machine going through more isoflurane than you think it should? How much should it be using? What is the OSHA recommendation for anesthesia waste gas? Do you need an MSDS for isoflurane on file? How about one for the activated carbon in that disposable canister? Did you know you can keep that little nosecone in position with a piece of dental floss? Are you keeping track of how much waste gas you’re...
