AB  - In  the  early  years  following  the  first  demonstration  of  anesthesia  with  an  inhalation  device,  different  inhalation  anesthetic  agents  were  developed  and  tested  in  spontaneously  breathing  subjects.  However,  the  increasing  complexity  of  surgical  procedures,  the  discovery  and  use  of  neuromuscular  blocking  as  well  as  intravenous  anesthetic  agents,  and  the  need  to  protect  the  airways  resulted  in  the  need  for  mechanical  ventilation  during  general  anesthesia.  Accordingly,  anesthesia  ventilators  were  developed  to  match  the  particular  needs  of  general  anesthesia,  which  differ  from  those  in  other  settings,  such  as  the  intensive  care  unit  (ICU).  Moreover,  modern  anesthesia  is  not  restricted  to  the  intraoperative  period  and  mechanical  ventilation  may  be  required  preoperatively  and  postoperatively.
