title: The ULCO anaesthetic suitcase.
abstract: This paper describes the ULCO Portable Field Anaesthesia Machine, also known as the ULCO Anaesthetic Suitcase. The ULCO Anaesthetic Suitcase is a portable and versatile anaesthetic machine. It consists of flowmeters, back bar with two Penlon Oxford Miniature Vaporizers (OMV 50) and a common gas outlet mounted in the lid of a sturdy aluminium suitcase. A choice of drawover circuit, circle absorber system or a MultiCircuit System valve allows either drawover, circle or Mapleson A or D continuous flow (plenum) anaesthesia to be given in virtually any situation, oxygen supply permitting.
