Overview
Description
The anesthesia machine can be conveniently divided into three parts: (a) The high pressure system, which receives gases at cylinder pressure, reduces the pressure and makes it more constant, (b) the intermediate pressure system, which receives gases from the regulator or hospital pipeline and delivers them to the flow meters or O2 flush valve and (c) the low pressure system, which takes gases from the flow meters to the machine outlet.
