THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANAESTHETIC APPARATUS

Deadspace in Paediatric Anaesthetic Apparatus.

The effective apparatus deadspace of the Magill, Potter and Cape Town gas circuits has been investigated using a model system simulating 3and 8-year-old children. (1) The Cape Town system is more suitable for smaller children. (2) The Potter system is more suitable for larger children. (3) A generous fresh gas flow will decrease the deadspace of the Potter and the Cape Town systems. A flow of d...

The Malawi anaesthetic machine. Experience with a new type of anaesthetic apparatus for developing countries.

The apparatus, its performance and problems are described and the author's suggested modifications to improve the original design are outlined. The apparatus, with these changes, represents a significant advance in oxygen availability for hospital...

new semigroup compactifications via the enveloping semigroups of associated flows

this thesis deals with the construction of some function algebras whose corresponding semigroup compactification are universal with respect to some properies of their enveloping semigroups. the special properties are of beigan a left zero, a left simple, a group, an inflation of the right zero, and an inflation of the rectangular band.
