The anaesthetic medicines are normally administered through an intravenous line in your arm by your anesthesiologist. You may be given a gas to breathe through a mask at times. Children may prefer to sleep with a mask on their faces. The anesthesiologist may place a tube in your mouth and down your windpipe once you're unconscious. An Anesthesia Machines (British English) or anaesthesia machine (American English) is a medical device that generates and mixes a fresh gas flow of medical gases and inhalational anaesthetic drugs in order to induce and maintain anaesthesia.
A mechanical ventilator, breathing system, suction equipment, and patient monitoring devices are often utilised with the machine. The phrase “anaesthetic machine” technically refers exclusively to the component that generates the gas flow, however modern machines frequently combine all of these components into a single freestanding unit, which is referred to as the “anaesthetic machine” for convenience.
