Download – Vaporisers

This article should be read in conjunction with  ‘Gases and vapours’. Several areas and concepts are duplicated but are retained for the benefit of an alternative explanation. Full coverage of the features of all vaporisers is clearly not possible, however the common underlying principles of their function are demonstrated using examples of widelyused devices. A clear understanding of the uses and pitfalls of vaporisers is essential for their safe clinical use.
