Background
The Drager Narkomed 6000 is an anesthesia machine used in the delivery of inhalational anesthesia to patients during surgery. It has a variety of features and capabilities to support anesthesia administration, such as ventilation modes including volume control, pressure control, SIMV, and pressure support. The machine also has respiratory monitoring capabilities, including end-tidal CO2, oxygen concentration, and airway pressure.
In addition, the Drager Narkomed 6000 has several safety features to help prevent accidents and ensure the proper functioning of the machine. These include a built-in fail-safe system that will automatically switch to an alternate gas supply in the event of a gas failure and an oxygen concentration monitor that will alarm if the oxygen level falls under a set threshold. The machine also has a built-in ventilator disconnect alarm to alert clinicians if the breathing circuit becomes disconnected.
The Drager Narkomed 6000 has been used worldwide for many years in medical settings. While no major recalls or safety concerns are associated with this model, it has been superseded by newer models in the Drager Narkomed line, such as the Drager Narkomed GS and the Drager Narkomed 2B. These newer models incorporate the latest technology and features to improve patient safety and anesthesia administration.
