Boyles appareil d’anesthésie

The “Boyle’s machine,” or Boyle’s apparatus, is a type of continuous-flow anesthesia machine, a device used to deliver general anesthesia to patients. It was developed by Henry Edmund Gaskin Boyle in 1917, building upon the Gwathmey machine. Boyle’s machine was a modification of the American Gwathmey apparatus, and it became a well-known early continuous flow anesthesia machine.
