Dr Jen Davis (@Dr GasVet) is a European Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. She is currently undertaking a PhD at Murdoch University, investigating the early diagnosis of acute kidney injury induced by anaesthesia-related hypotension. Jen also works part-time as registrar in veterinary anaesthesia at The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University, where she administers sedation, anaesthesia, and analgesia to all species of animal, as well as teaching undergraduate students and resident vets studying to become anaesthesia specialists. A summary of Jen’s research, and open access to her published work can be found on ResearchGate.

Previous blog articles have covered the components of an anaesthetic machine. Now we move onto vaporisers; the devices that ensure effective and safe addition of inhalant anaesthetics to the fresh gas flow exiting the common gas outlet. Where is a ……
Part 7 in the series – The Veterinary Anaesthetic Machine Made Simple. The final components of the anaesthetic machine, and of the low pressure area of the machine, are the backbar, pressure relief valve, and common gas outlet.
Part 6 in the series The Veterinary Anaesthetic Machine Made Simple, thanks to Dr Gas Vet. What is the Oxygen Flush Valve? The oxygen flush valve delivers oxygen at a high pressure (~400kPa) and flow rate (30 ” 70 L/minute). This oxygen comes directly fro
Part 5 in the series – The Veterinary Anaesthetic Machine Made Simple. The oxygen flush valve delivers oxygen at a high pressure (~400kPa) and flow rate (30 ” 70 L/minute). This oxygen comes directly from the oxygen cylinder or pipeline, so bypasses the
For the next blog in this series about the anaesthetic machine, we will look at the final components of the high pressure system of the anaesthetic machine: pressure gauges, and pressure regulators….
Part 3 in the series – The Veterinary Anaesthetic Machine Made Simple – thanks to Dr Gas Vet. In my last blog post I started off talking about the anaesthetic machine with a description of gas cylinders. But what if you use pipeline gases? And how do you
This is the beginning of a series of blogs about the anaesthetic machine. My aim is to provide a basic and simple understanding of how your anaesthetic machine works.
In Part 2 of this series of blogs about the anaesthetic machine we will start from the beginning, with gas supply, commencing with gas cylinders.
Induction of anaesthesia using a co-induction technique is a simple method that may improve the safety and quality of anaesthesia administered. Co-induction of anaesthesia is a technique that uses more than one drug together.
