AB Whether  you  are  a  practicing  anesthesiologist,  practicing  nurse  anesthetist,  anesthesiology  resident  physician,  or  student  nurse  anesthetist,  the  chances  are  you  know  more  about  anatomy,  pharmacology,  and  physiology  than  how  the  equipment  that  allows  you  to  safely  and  properly  give  an  anesthetic  works.  A  lot  of  us  are  medically  or  biologically  minded,  not  mechanically  or  electrically  minded.  That’s  one  reason  why  we  went  into  what  we  did  instead  of  engineering.  The  workings  of  an  anesthesia  machine  are  not  as  interesting  to  us  as  the  anatomy  of  a  nerve  block,  how  a  drug  works,  or  cardiac  physiology.
