This module will provide a comprehensive overview of the anesthesia machine, its parts and their functions. It will also introduce the different pressure systems and the role they play in the operation of the machine.

This module will delve into the operation of vaporizers. We'll use the metaphor of a tea kettle to simplify the evaporation process, and you'll learn how to adjust vaporizer settings to achieve desired concentrations of anesthetic gases.

In this module, we'll break down the complex topic of anesthetic gas scavenging systems, using real-world examples such as the exhaust system in cars. We will detail how these systems minimize the exposure of operating room personnel to anesthetic gases.

This module will equip you with the knowledge to recognize common issues with anesthesia machines and the appropriate steps to troubleshoot them. We'll compare the process to diagnosing car problems to make it easier to grasp.

In our final module, we'll summarize the course and discuss the vital role anesthesia machines play in patient safety, focusing on oxygen and nitrous flows and USA regulations. We'll also review best practices for ensuring patient safety.
