Anesthesiology Equipment

Here is one of the anesthesiologists. He is monitoring all of the equipment that keeps the horse asleep

.

This is the respirator. It breathes for the horse during anesthesia.

The bellows is the part that looks like a slinky. It expands and contracts to move air into the horse's lungs.

These machines do two things:

  • they keep track of the horse's heart rate and blood pressure
  • they regulate the mixture of anesthetic gases that are being given to the horse through the bellows.
