Even the anaesthetic apparatus was a marvel of micro-positronic refinement.

I was unfamiliar with the equipment in the room, although I knew an operating table and anaesthetic apparatus when I saw them.

It was used with halothane in the Tri-service field anaesthetic apparatus used by the UK armed forces under field conditions.

With the outbreak of war in 1939, Gerald Palmer was reassigned to work on portable anaesthetic apparatus, the Oxford Vaporiser, for front line use.

It may occur independently, as an oxygen mask, or on some anaesthetic apparatuses, or it may occur inside a fullface mask on a scuba set or an industrial breathing set to reduce the amount of dead space.

Manley was aware that the high cost of modern anaesthetic apparatus was often prohibitive for hospitals in developing countries, and at the time of his death he was working on a prototype of an inexpensive, but effective ventilator for the Third World.

Simpler anaesthetic apparatus may be used in special circumstances, such as the TriService Apparatus, a simplified anaesthesia delivery system invented for the British armed forces, which is light and portable and may be used effectively even when no medical gases are available.

'breathing tube' is a flexible tube for breathing through, as part of a scuba set or other breathing apparatus or a medical oxygen apparatus or anaesthetic apparatus (Here they are distinguished from the medium-pressure hoses which are often found as parts of modern breathing apparatus.)
