Constant improvement in anesthetic gas machines has been the objective mutually of anesthesiologists, manufacturers, and engineers. Yet the literature continues to report mishaps, sometimes fatal to the patient, due to machine design or function or to "human error." The author reviews some of these hazards and describes proposals for their elimination. He points out that initiative on the part of anesthesiologists is vital in spurring needed changes by manufacturers.
麻醉气体机的持续改进一直是麻醉医生、制造商和工程师共同的目标。然而，文献中仍不断有因机器设计、功能或“人为失误”导致的事故报道，有些事故甚至对患者是致命的。作者回顾了其中一些危险，并描述了消除这些危险的建议。他指出，麻醉医生的主动性对于促使制造商做出必要的改变至关重要。
