Anaesthetic gas is maintained in a closed system and exhausted in an area external to the area wherein the anaesthetic equipment is operated according to the disclosed apparatus. The apparatus for administration of anaesthesia includes a controlled source of anaesthetic gas, a mask, check valves on either side of the mask, carbon dioxide absorber, rubber bag, and means for removal of circulated anaesthetic gas from the system. Inlet and outlet from the system may be conveniently controlled thereby maintaining substantially the same pressure throughout the system. The apparatus disclosed provides that harmful anaesthetic gases exhausted from the system do not reach the ambient air surrounding the apparatus, thus the staff working in the area of the apparatus is protected from exposure to the gases. |
