The medical gas socket

The medical gas system in the operating room is a critical infrastructure that provides essential gases for patient care and surgical procedures. 

Oxygen: Oxygen is a vital medical gas used to support patients' respiratory needs during surgery and in critical care settings. It is administered through masks, nasal cannulas, or ventilators to ensure adequate oxygenation and tissue perfusion.

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is often used as an anesthetic agent in combination with other gases or medications. It provides pain relief and sedation during surgical procedures, helping patients remain comfortable and relaxed.

Medical Air: Medical air is a purified form of compressed air that is free from contaminants and moisture. It is used for respiratory support, powering medical devices, and creating a sterile environment in the operating room.

Medical Vacuum: Medical vacuum is used to remove bodily fluids, gases, and surgical smoke from the surgical site. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a clear and safe operating field, preventing the spread of contaminants and maintaining a sterile environment.

Medical Nitrogen: Medical nitrogen is primarily used for the pressurization of medical devices and as a source of pneumatic power. It is commonly utilized in surgical tools, such as pneumatic drills and instruments, to provide precise and controlled movements.

The medical gas system ensures the availability and safe delivery of these gases to support patient care and surgical procedures in the operating room. It is crucial for maintaining a controlled and sterile environment, optimizing patient comfort, and supporting the work of healthcare professionals.
