Abstract:
Some military anaesthetists have started to use the Oxford Miniature Vaporiser in a pushover configuration with the Triservice anaesthetic apparatus. This vaporiser performs identically in the pushover and drawover configurations with the Cape TC 50 ventilator. We tested the Oxford Miniature Vaporiser with three other ventilators and found variable performance. When used in the pushover configuration with the Laerdal bag at normal minute volumes, the Oxford Miniature Vaporiser delivers a higher than set output.

Problem Solving on Stress and Strain
Maximum Deflection
The maximum deflection occurs at a specific point, known as point O, where the tangent to the deflection curve is horizontal. To find point O, the slope of the tangent at any...
Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
