Abstract

We encountered a case with sudden and complete interruption of fresh gas ow in anesthesia workstation. On inquiry, it was found out that there was water in the medical gas pipeline system and a simultaneous malfunction of the dryer mechanism that lead to this condition. This case report emphasizes the importance of understanding the capabilities and limitations of the drager machine as well as of any anesthesia workstations being used to administer anaesthesia. In addition, this demonstrates the importance to being able to provide immediate backup ventilation in case of 1 ventilator failure.
