The equipment used for ward anaesthesia is different from that used in operating room anaesthesia. Ward anaesthesia equipment is typically smaller and more portable, and it is designed to be used in a variety of settings, including patient rooms, clinics, and offices.

Ward anaesthesia equipment includes the following components:

An anaesthesia machine
A vaporiser
A breathing circuit
A suction unit
A monitoring system

The anaesthesia machine is the central component of the ward anaesthesia equipment. It is responsible for delivering a mixture of anaesthetic gases and oxygen to the patient. The vaporiser is used to add volatile anaesthetic agents to the gas mixture. The breathing circuit is used to deliver the gas mixture to the patient and to remove exhaled gases.

The suction unit is used to remove secretions from the patient's airway. The monitoring system is used to monitor the patient's vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.

Ward anaesthesia equipment is essential for the safe and effective administration of anaesthesia in a ward setting. It is important for anaesthetists, nurses and surgeons to be familiar with the equipment and its use.
