Question: Can you think of problems with the
anaesthesia equipment that might cause hypoxia?
Answer: Equipment problems might include:
- Oxygen supply/concentrator/cylinder
- Breating circuit disconnection
- Breathing circuit obstruction
If problem not resolving, eliminate the circuit and
use self-inflating bag.
If self-inflating bag not available, consider
mouth-to-mouth or tracheal tube ventilation.
