Anaesthesia ventilator

Definition

A mains electricity (AC-powered) stand-alone, automatic cycling device used to assist and control alveolar ventilation during general anaesthesia, and is compatible with inhaled anaesthetic agents. It has fewer functions and is less complex to operate than an intensive care ventilator, but adequately meets the patient's ventilation needs for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange to maintain normal blood gas concentrations. The device provides a mechanical means to deliver the breathing gas to the patient in a controlled pattern, and is equipped with alarms to warn of changes in respiration or the onset of unsafe operating conditions.
