A drawover Boyle's machine. Development and evaluation in Zambia.
A standard Boyle International anaesthetic machine was modified to allow operation in either a continuous flow or a drawover mode. This was achieved by fitting a valve in the backbar which allows entrainment of air under drawover conditions. The details of the valve and modification are discussed and an evaluation of the machine in a Central African hospital is presented.
