Anaesthetic equipment

What part of the anaesthetic machine do we need to turn on before anything else?

• Vaporiser

• Flowmeter

• Oxygen

• Anaesthetic circuit

Once this is on, where should we check next to make sure this is functioning?

• Flowmeter

• Emergency O2

• Anaesthetic circuit

• Pressure Guage

The flow of oxygen from the pressure gauge then moves to the (a)  

The flowmeter should be checked next. In order the read the ball within the flowmeter where do we read it from?

After testing the flowmeter, we should check?

• Vaporiser

• The flowmeter again

• The anaesthetic circuit

• Reducing Valve

The vaporiser spindle should be checked in case it sticks. Which maintenance gas had a preservative that allowed that to happen?

• Isoflurane

• Halothane

• Desflurane

• Sevoflurane

After leak checking the circuits what is the last thing we should do before our patient can be anaesthetised?
