Anesthesia Workstation

An anesthesia workstation is a system that delivers anesthesia to patients. It includes a gas delivery system, breathing system, and monitoring devices.

The machine is commonly used together with a mechanical ventilator , breathing system , suction equipment & patient monitoring and  devices; strictly speaking, the term “anaesthetic machine” refers only to the component which generates the gas flow, but modern machines usually integrate all these devices into one combined freestanding unit, which is colloquially referred to as the “anaesthetic machine” for the sake of simplicity. In the developed world, the most frequent type in use is the continuous-flow anaesthetic machine.
