Medical gases are nowadays being used for a number of diverse clinical applications and its piped delivery is a landmark achievement in the field of patient care. Patient safety is of paramount importance in the design, installation, commissioning, and operation of medical gas pipeline systems (MGPS). The system has to be operational round the clock, with practically zero downtime and its failure can be fatal if not restored at the earliest. There is a lack of awareness among the clinicians regarding the medico-legal aspect involved with the MGPS. It is a highly technical field; hence, an in-depth knowledge is a must to ensure safety with the system.
如今，医用气体被用于多种不同的临床应用，其管道输送是患者护理领域的一项里程碑式成就。在医用气体管道系统（MGPS）的设计、安装、调试和运行中，患者安全至关重要。该系统必须全天候运行，实际停机时间几乎为零，如果不能尽早恢复，其故障可能是致命的。临床医生对MGPS涉及的医疗法律方面缺乏认识。这是一个高科技领域；因此，必须有深入的知识才能确保系统的安全。
