WARNING
Risk of patient regaining consciousness or
risk of hypoxia
If the gas supply fails, further operation of the
anesthesia machine takes place with ambient
air. Oxygen and anesthetic gas are no longer
delivered. Due to the patient’s rebreathing,
the inspiratory concentration of anesthetic
gases and oxygen in the breathing gas falls.
Monitor the gas concentrations carefully and
use intravenous anesthetic agents if
necessary.
