Anesthetic vaporisers are designed in such a way that they take into account the amount of temperature, gas flow and the pressure of vapor. In the past, ether was the first agent that was came into use by John Snow’s inhaler in 1847 but eventually it was concealed with the introduction of chloroform in 1848. Ether made its comeback in the period of 1862-1872 with a custom use by means of Schimmelbusch’s mask which was used for soaking liquid ether. Even though it is now outdated but it was made up of wires, further enclosed with cloth.

But with the increasing demand and pressure from the side of dental surgeons, it was becoming necessary to find a way for modernizing the use of ether. This leads the preface of many ether inhalers which then declined the use of ether. With this, anesthetic vaporisers take its place with much more improvements and additional safety measures such as anti-spill measures, bimetallic strip and temperature compensation. Usually there are two kinds of vaporisers –plenum and drawover. There is also third sort of vaporiser which is solely used for agent desflurane.

Plenum vaporiser is usually build up on the machine and is determined by positive pressure applied via anesthetic machine. It hardly matters that the patient is inhaling impulsively or is ventilating through machine, the performance of the vaporisers remains the same. Although the confrontation of vaporiser is high, the supply of vaporizer is fixed. We can exactly regulate the vaporiser to deliver us the concentration of unstable anesthetic vapor over a huge range of gas flows. There is no external power in the working of plenum vaporiser and can work for many hours continuously. It hardly requires any maintenance. This vaporizer divides the external gas into two streams, among which one of the streams passed straight to the vaporiser through bypass channel and the other stream entered into vaporiser chamber.

Drawover vaporiser is actually driven by the negative pressure exerted by the patient. Thus it has very low resistance to fresh gas flows. Miniature volume of patient is the foundation for assessing the performance of these kinds of vaporisers. With the increase in minute ventilation, its results drop. The design of drawover vaporiser is much better than that of plenum vaporizer. It is made up of Double Inlet Centrifugal Fan Manufacturers a simple glass reservoir which is mounted inside the breathing element. As wells as it is cheap and is simpler in use.
