Fundamental Physics in Anaesthesia

Anesthesiologists supervise and conduct the administration of various anaesthetic agents including volatile liquids and gases through various delivery systems to the patient for safe anaesthesia outcome. These gases and liquids can behave differently under different atmospheric conditions. Also, physics associated with delivery or safety instruments should also be properly understood by an anesthesiologist. As, no device is fail proof and in case of failure of device, this knowledge can greatly help in troubleshoot problem. This knowledge can also save lives in emergency situation by preventing hypoxic gas delivery. Therefore, physics related to various substances used by anesthesiologist should be studied in great detail.
