ANESTHESIA PRESSURE/LEAK CHECK Check “Oxygen” is ON and connected to “Anesthesia Machine.” Check “Scavenging Tube” is connected to “Pop-Off Valve” and “Scavenging Tube” is being scavenged away appropriately. Check “Absorber Canister” is tightly connected to the “Anesthesia Machine” and all “Anesthesia Machine Tubing” is connected. Check “Rebreathing Bags” and “Patient Rebreathing Circuits” have no holes/tears. Place “Rebreathing Bag” and “Patient Rebreathing Circuit” on the “Anesthesia Machine.” Use the other “Rebreathing Bag” and place it over the ‘open’ end of the “Patient Rebreathing Circuit.” Your anesthesia machine is now in a ‘closed circuit.’ Turn the oxygen “Flowmeter” ON to ‘2 L/Min’ and put the “Pop-Off Valve” into a CLOSED position. “Rebreathing Bags” should begin to inflate in 30-60 seconds as your circuit is now closed. Watch anesthesia machines “Pressure Gauge (Manometer)” reaches “20 CM/H2O”. Once anesthesia machines “Pressure Gauge (Manometer)” has reached “20 CM/H2O,” turn the “Flowmeter” to the OFF Position. Your anesthesia machine should hold “20 CM/H2O” for 30 seconds with the “Flowmeter” OFF and “Pop-Off Valve” CLOSED. If successful, your machine has PASSED a “Pressure Check.” TURN YOUR “POP-OFF VALVE” BACK TO OPEN!!!
