What is the ACGO switch on the anesthesia machine and what does it do?
The function of ACGO switch of anesthesia machine
ACGO Chinese can be called auxiliary fresh gas outlet. Many imported brands can also add this outlet. This outlet can be connected to open circuits such as T-tube loops and Bain loops. It is suitable for use in hospitals where many children and newborns are used. Connecting open loops can effectively solve the problem of carbon dioxide retention during pediatric surgery. Problem, but there are not many researches on open-circuit surgery in China. Perhaps each province has only a few strong technical forces, and the operating rooms of hospitals that do well in scientific research will study this circuit. When there are training doctors or new doctors in the department for anesthesia, they must not connect the wrong line.

Connecting to the open circuit can effectively solve the problem of carbon dioxide retention during pediatric surgery. However, open circuit surgery is currently done in China. There are not many researches yet. Perhaps each province has only some strong technical forces, and the operating room of a hospital that has done a good job of scientific research will study this circuit. When there is a training doctor or a new doctor in the department who are on anesthesia, they must specifically explain that they should not connect the wrong pipeline. If the breathing circuit is connected to this outlet by mistake, it will be very troublesome. . .
