Many medical procedures involve the administration of gases that can affect patient health and safety. Gas monitoring ensures that patients receive the correct gas concentrations during procedures such as anesthesia administration, respiratory therapy, and Oxygen (O2) therapy. Monitoring gases such as O2 can help prevent adverse events such as hypoxia, hypercapnia, and anesthesia overdose, ensuring patient safety and well-being.

Mechanical ventilation is a critical aspect of intensive care and respiratory support for patients with respiratory failure or compromised lung function. Gas monitoring helps healthcare providers assess patient ventilation parameters, monitor gas exchange, and optimise ventilator settings to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation while minimising the risk of ventilator-associated complications.

Oxygen therapy is commonly used to treat patients with respiratory insufficiency or hypoxemia. Gas monitoring ensures that patients receive the prescribed O2 concentrations and helps healthcare providers adjust therapy based on patient response and O2 saturation levels. Monitoring O2 levels also helps prevent O2 toxicity and other adverse effects associated with excessive exposure.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on centralised medical gas supply systems to provide gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and medical air to patient care areas. Gas monitoring ensures the integrity and safety of these systems by detecting leaks, pressure fluctuations, and other abnormalities that could compromise gas delivery and patient care.
