ABSTRACT:
A vaporizer for introducing a vapor of an anesthetic liquid into t carrier gas for introduction into a patient is disclosed. The vaporizer directly vaporizes the liquid by introducing the liquid into a vaporizing chamber having an extremely large width to height ratio, i.e. in excess of 600:1. The carrier gas flows in laminar flow through the vaporizing chamber and the liquid anesthetic is introduced at a controlled flow such that it immediately vaporizes upon introduction to the entrance of the vaporizing chamber. A control scheme utilizing a CPU controls the percentage of anesthetic vapor in the outlet gas by sensing certain parameters and then controlling the flow of liquid anesthetic by controlling the speed of a controllable speed pump.
