ABOUT VARIABLES THAT AFFECT THE PROPER OPERATION OF ANESTHETIC MACHINE

The number of patients having surgery grew by 13.93% between 2017 and 2018, from 4,867 to 6,444, according to the hospitals polled. Therefore, there is an increased risk of equipment damage occurring during operation as a result of adjustments and management. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to examine the safety of anesthetic equipment, the contributing variables to that safety, and accident prevention strategies. The research indicates that there are 51 devices spread throughout 8 locations, including 12 devices at the First Central Hospital of Mongolia, 3 devices at Intermed, and 3 devices at Gurvan Gal and the Second State Central Hospital, respectively. At the hospitals surveyed, 40–50% of the most frequent breakdowns were caused by sensor malfunctions. At these institutions, 15–35% of the operational equipment was out-of-date, and only 45% of spare parts were replaced on a regular basis within the allotted time. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the availability of spare parts for frequently damaged parts, prompt replacement of spare parts, increase the number of engineers and technicians, uninstall any equipment that is outdated or that has been in use for more than eight years, or check it daily with an analyzer for safety and specialists must adhere attentively to the safety recommendations.
