The Equipment

In order to get the job done it takes special tools. The anesthesiologist has a special machine just for them. It is also called Boyle's Machine, the purpose is to keep administering anesthesia, oxygen, nitrous  oxide, or any other drug they gave to the patient to keep away the pain. It also keeps track of how the patient is doing and how their body is reacting. They also have other tools which are usually kept on their machine because it doubles as a kart! Laryngoscopy handles with Macintosh or Miller blades are used to view the vocal cords and larynx. The purpose is to make an opening to give anesthesia. They also use a devise called a Glidescope. It has a camera on the end which is used to be more accurate when entering through the trachea and can be used to remove an substance blocking air movement and make sure the patient is doing well and see if there are any problems. The most common equipment is the needle and their medicine. Which will be stabbed into the patient at nerve endings to numb the pain.
