anesthesia machine calibration

Anesthesia machine calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting the device to ensure it delivers the correct amounts of gases and oxygen to patients. This involves checking sensors, flowmeters, and vaporizers to confirm accurate functioning. Regular calibration guarantees patient safety by ensuring anesthesia is administered precisely, preventing under- or over-dosing. The process typically includes comparing machine readings against known standards and making adjustments as needed. Proper calibration is essential for maintaining the machine’s reliability and efficacy during medical procedures.
