    Developing countries can achieve quality inhalational anesthesia without relying on compressed gas supply issues. This study proposes a method to overcome challenges, excluding nitrous oxide, ensuring safe anesthetic practices.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Global Health
    • Medical Engineering

    Background:

    • Inhalational anesthesia is crucial in developing countries.
    • Compressed gas supply is a significant challenge in these regions.
    • Existing anesthetic methods may be inaccessible due to logistical constraints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the requirements for inhalational anesthesia in developing countries.
    • To address the problems of compressed gas supply.
    • To propose a viable scheme for anesthetic delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of current anesthetic practices and requirements.
    • Identification of challenges in compressed gas logistics.
    • Development of an alternative anesthetic delivery scheme.

    Main Results:

    • A proposed scheme circumvents compressed gas supply difficulties.
    • The quality of anesthesia is maintained.
    • The scheme necessitates foregoing the use of nitrous oxide.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective inhalational anesthesia is achievable in resource-limited settings.
    • The proposed scheme offers a practical solution to gas supply issues.
    • Adaptation of anesthetic protocols is key to improving global access to care.
