@AnesthesiaandCriticalcare This video "explores the pneumatic system of anesthesia machines, managing high-pressure gas for patient safety through three key systems: high, intermediate, and low-pressure.
The high-pressure system receives and reduces variable gas pressures from cylinders, featuring components like the hanger yoke assembly, check valves, pressure gauge, and regulators. The intermediate pressure system ranges from 45 to 55 PSIG, including pipeline connections, pressure indicators, flow control valves, and safety devices. Meanwhile, the low-pressure system, downstream from flow control valves, maintains slightly above atmospheric pressure and consists of flow meters, vaporizers, safety devices, valves, and gas outlets.
