Understanding the complex process of production, storage and delivery of medical gases is vitally important to ensure safe and efficient practice by anaesthetists. This article discusses the medical gases commonly used in anaesthesia and intensive care and details the journey of the commonly used medical gases from production to patient delivery. It includes core knowledge for the FRCA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medical gas production, storage and delivery is a complex process. Design of such a system must ensure that gas delivery is safe, convenient and cost-effective. This article reviews the production, storage and delivery of commonly used anaesthetic gases, following the gases from production to delivery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Medical gas production supply and distribution is a closely regulated process with many intrinsic safety designs and procedures. Supply and storage of both bulk and cylinder based systems are reviewed together with the production of common anaesthetic gases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Medical gases used in anaesthesia and intensive care include oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, entonox, carbon dioxide, heliox and nitric oxide. Breathable gases administered to patients are stored either in bulk outside the hospital or in cylinders within the hospital. Medical gases are then distributed throughout the hospital via a pipeline network. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Gases are often administered to patients during anaesthesia and in critical-care areas. If only small-scale use is required, or portability is important, gases can be stored in cylinders, for example at the back of the anaesthetic machine. Most hospitals also have a pipeline supply of gases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
