This article examines successful management of an anesthesia machine failure with the Draeger (or Dräger) Apollo (Draeger Inc) anesthesia workstation. Approximately 45 minutes into the case, while the patient was under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation, the anesthesia machine failed to achieve positive pressurization following a high-pressure alarm. Despite multiple maneuvers, the issue did not resolve until the machine was manually powered off and on at the main power switch. This case report emphasizes the importance of always having a backup means of patient ventilation and anesthesia administration.
这篇文章探讨了成功管理麻醉机故障的案例,该麻醉机为德尔格(Draeger) Apollo(德尔格公司)麻醉工作站。大约在手术进行到 45 分钟时,患者在全身麻醉和机械通气下,麻醉机在高压警报后未能实现正压通气。尽管进行了多次操作,但直到手动关闭并重新打开主电源开关,问题才得到解决。本病例报告强调了始终有备用的患者通气和麻醉管理方法的重要性。
