A simple wheel guardfor anaesthetic gas machines

Development of anaesthetic machines.

It is abundantly clear that, during the past few years, there has been a remarkable resurgence of interest in all aspects of the history of anaesthesia, and not least in that of anaesthetic apparatus. Not only academic departments of anaesthesia, but also smaller general hospitals are now admitting to some form of collection of historical anaesthetic apparatus which has been garnered by devotee...

ThEATRE Possible adverse health effects are an increased risk of spontaneous abortion in females, the increased likelihood of male anaesthetists to father daughters, decreased fertility, a potential increase in haematological malignancy, renal and liver dysfunction and decreased mental performance. One explanation for these effects is inhibition of methionine synthase by nitrous oxide, causing ...

Anaesthetic Mixtures: Gas Chromatography

acids and peptides due to the manifold separation modes that can be applied. Short analysis times, easy manipulation of separation conditions and small injection volumes (nanolitres) are further advantages. The Reld of biomedical and clinical amino acid and peptide analysis is still under investigation, especially as the transfer and adaptation of the separation modes to a broader range of real...

A simple anaesthetic apparatus for small animals.

This apparatus was developed for the anaesthesia of small animals, including infant and adult mice, rats, guinea-pigs, rabbits, and rhesus monkeys. The general layout of the apparatus is shown in the diagram. The apparatus consists of an electric pump which drives air through a two-way tap connected to two tubes in an ether container. One of the tubes reaches well below the surface of the ether...
