Anestar Anesthesia Machine

[Tolti]

We have two anestar anesthesia machines. Any input on problems or concerns about this machine would be welcome. We are in a rural setting, and may occassionally require locums coverage. I would like to make a video or some inservice tool that could orientate a CRNA to this machine....do any of you out there have such a tool. I am waiting for the rep to get back to me, but searching their website has nothing for the clinician, and the manual is tedious, and geared for biomed types. I just want a straightforward visual for an experienced CRNA to use to quickly orientate on a machine that is different from what we have all grown up with. Because this is a solo positon, there might not be the luxury of having a CRNA orientate the locums....generally the locums would come here, only if the CRNA normally scheduled was sick or had a family emergency. I am trying to be prepared for any event.
