Each topic will conclude with an assessment.

3. About
Anaesthesia is a unique medical intervention which does not itself offer any particular medical benefit and instead enables the performance of other medical interventions. The best anaesthetic is therefore one with the lowest risk to the patient that still achieves the end points required to complete the other intervention.
There are many different needs and goals of anaesthesia.
Unconsciousness
Amnesia
Analgesia and
Muscle relaxation
To reach the above mentioned multiple end points one or more drugs are commonly used (such as general anaesthetics, hypnotics, sedatives, paralytics, narcotics and analgesics), each of which serves a specific purpose in creating a safe anaesthetic.

4. Using Anaesthesia Machines to Administer General Anaesthesia
A cocktail of gases is the most common anaesthesia technique used to achieve the controlled state of unconsciousness and loss of sensation that results from general anaesthesia. Sometimes techniques are combined to reduce side effects in certain patients or to better achieve the desired effect.
Gases are delivered to patients through an oxygen mask that fits over the patient’s mouth and nose. Patients breathe in the mixture of oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other gases that’s combined and regulated by the anaesthesia machine. The machine also captures, purifies, and reuses or releases the gases that are exhaled by the patient.

5. Parts of Anaesthesia Machine

6. Here’s how the different parts work together to make an anaesthesia machine function.
Vaporizers: Anaesthesia machines keep patients sedated and breathing by delivering a mix of gases that includes oxygen and nitrous oxide. The anaesthesiologist controls the level of sedation through the vaporizer which mixes the gases.
Ventilators: Ventilators keep patients breathing during sedation and help maintain good blood composition. Modern ventilators have multiple settings to help regulate the breathing patterns of different types and ages of patients.
Flowmeters: Flowmeters control the levels of gases as the anaesthesiologist administers them. New, low-flow machines are just as effective but help maintain the patient’s core temperature at the same time.
Breathing Circuits: These devices effectively breathe for patients as they send the mix of anaesthetic gases to the lungs and exhale the CO2 by-product. Circular breathing units administer a low flow of continuous gases to patients for best results.
Scavenging Systems: These systems expel the gases the patient releases from their lungs. In an active scavenging system, suction is used to remove the gases from the patient’s lungs. In a passive system a tube sends gases out to a ventilation system for purification
