Anesthesia breathing systems deliver oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, and regulate anesthetic depth through controlled gas exchange. Understanding the types, functions, safety awareness and infection prevention elements of providing anesthesia care are essential throughout the continuum of perioperative care. This learning activity provides current information on using and monitoring patient care during use of anesthesia breathing systems. Considerations also address environmental sustainability developments and emerging trends in technology to explore and implement as a collaborative team.
Learning Objectives:
Describe common anesthesia breathing systems used in perioperative care and the components and functions of these systems
Discuss patient safety information relevant to using anesthesia breathing systems and monitoring patients under anesthesia care
Examine trends in environmental sustainability and technological advances and trends for anesthesia care professionals to be familiar with
