MaskerGeräte

MaskerGeräte are devices designed to deliver anesthetic gases or oxygen to a patient during medical procedures. They are typically made of rubber or silicone and are shaped to fit snugly over the patient's nose and mouth, creating a seal to prevent gas leakage. The mask is connected via tubing to an anesthesia machine or a ventilator, which controls the flow of gases.

The primary function of a MaskerGerät is to ensure that the patient receives a precise concentration of anesthetic agents or supplemental oxygen while also preventing the exhalation of gases into the operating room environment. This is crucial for patient safety, as it helps to maintain adequate anesthesia levels and oxygenation, and also for operating room personnel safety by minimizing exposure to anesthetic vapors.

Different sizes and shapes of MaskerGeräte are available to accommodate varying patient anatomies, from infants to adults. Some masks incorporate features like inflatable cuffs for a more secure fit or built-in bite blocks to prevent airway obstruction. The choice of mask depends on factors such as patient age, facial structure, and the specific medical procedure being performed. Proper selection and fitting of the MaskerGerät are essential for effective and safe gas delivery.
