: Connects to piped medical gases (Oxygen, Air, Nitrous Oxide) or reserve cylinders via a Pin Index Safety System (PISS) to prevent incorrect gas connections.

: A mechanical or electronic link that prevents delivering a gas mixture with less than 25% oxygen. Essentials of anaesthetic equipment

: Continuous measurement of blood oxygen saturation ( SpO2cap S p cap O sub 2 Capnography : Monitors exhaled CO2cap C cap O sub 2 to confirm proper airway placement and ventilation status. : Connects to piped medical gases (Oxygen, Air,

: Tracks heart rate and rhythm for signs of ischemia. : Tracks heart rate and rhythm for signs of ischemia

: Provides a high-flow (35–75 L/min) burst of pure oxygen directly to the common gas outlet in emergencies.

: Acts as "external lungs" to maintain respiratory rate and volume for deeply anesthetized patients. Safety Features & Monitoring
