APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The O2 flush valve bypasses the vaporizer and delivers oxygen gas only to the common gas outlet and then to the breathing circuit. Used to fill the breathing circuit with oxygen, it delivers a high but unmetered flow of oxygen. This flow, approximately 30 to 50 L/min, can quickly fill the breathing system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gas Flow Through the Anesthesia Machine Gas (oxygen, air, nitrous oxide) enters the anesthesia machine through a pipeline supply and cylinder gas supply. The primary source of gas is typically the pipeline supply, which functions at 45 to 60 psi (the intermediate pressure system).
