The anesthesia machine is a major component in an integrated anesthesia care system. It can be considered in terms of the functional subsystems responsible for gas proportioning, anesthetic vapor delivery, patient ventilation, and waste gas scavenging. Alternative technologies for these functional units should be examined in light of the disadvantages inherent in present machines. Safety features, often added on an ad hoc basis, should instead be designed into the machine itself. The anesthesia delivery system should include feedback about the patient status and device performance, as well as provide for the delivery of anesthetic and pharmacologic agents. Improvements in performance and provisions for automation of some functions should be considered as future design criteria.
麻醉机是综合麻醉护理系统的主要组成部分。它可以从负责气体配比、麻醉蒸汽输送、患者通气和废气清除的功能子系统的角度来考虑。应根据现有机器固有的缺点来研究这些功能单元的替代技术。安全功能不应临时添加，而应设计到机器本身中。麻醉输送系统应包括有关患者状态和设备性能的反馈，并提供麻醉剂和药剂的输送。性能的改进和某些功能的自动化设置应被视为未来的设计标准。
