RT Book, Section A1 Rose, Gregory A1 McLarney, J. Thomas SR Print(0) ID 1100035459 T1 Introduction T2 Anesthesia Equipment Simplified YR 2014 FD 2014 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-180518-6 LK accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1100035459 RD 2024/11/09 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.
