An Endo-Tracheal Ether Apparatus
By Z. MENNELL, M.B., M.R.C.S. (Lond.)
Senior Anaesthetist, St. Thomas’s Hospital; Senior Anaesthetist National Hospital for
the Paralysed and Epileptic, London.
Directions for Use.
A stout rubber tube should be connected from the source of air
supply to the tubing mount "A" at the bottom left hand side of the unit.
The control handle "C" mounted immediately above the inlet should
he at the position marked "blow-off" before commencing to give the
anaesthetic. When all is ready, this handle should be turned anti-clockwise
towards the position marked "Air", allowing the air to pass
gradually on to the mixing handle "D" mounted above the ether
chamber. By turning this handle either to the right or left of its mid-way
position a proportionate quantity of air is diverted into the ether
chamber "H" where it passes over the surface of the ether, and from
thence to the outlet.
The manometer "M" provided, indicates the pressure of the
etherised air supply. and in the event of this rising above 30 mm. Of
mercury, a blow-off occurs in the mercury valve "F" mounted behind
the ether chamber. The small tap "G" is for use in cases of emergency,
and quickly reduces the supply of ether vapour to the patient. |
