ARMY Anesthesia
Apparatus Service & Calibrate Course on CD
For over two
thousand years, physicians of many cultures have
performed surgery upon anesthetized patients. The
anesthetics ranged in type and effectiveness.
During certain periods of history, earlier
anesthetics were forgotten. In the recent past, a
physician relied upon the patient consuming
alcohol and biting down hard on anything
convenient.
Modern general anesthesia
began in 1846 when Dr. J.C. Warren first used
ether. A dentist named Heidbrink invented the
first anesthesia administering machine in 1910.
Aside from a few refinements, the machines
physicians use today are very similar to the
machine invented by Heidbrink. The Ohmeda 885A
Anesthesia Apparatus is one such machine.
The Ohmeda 885A
Anesthesia Apparatus is a field anesthesia unit
which is rugged, portable, and self-contained. It
is your job to keep it operationally efficient.
The material in this subcourse covers the
preventive maintenance checks and services
(PMCS), routine maintenance, calibration and
verification, and repair procedures you use to
accomplish this task
