ANESTHESIA FACE MASK

• Anesthesia masks, often made of rubber or silicone, are essential for delivering oxygen, nitrous oxide, and other inhaled anesthetics to patients before, during, and after surgery, ensuring a tight seal for effective gas delivery. 
• Anesthesia masks facilitate the delivery of anesthetic gases or fresh gas mixtures to the patient for inhalation via the mouth and nose. 
• They are used in conjunction with anesthesia and ventilator breathing systems to maintain a patent airway and facilitate ventilation. 
• Masks are used to oxygenate patients preoperatively and to administer oxygen to aid recovery from anesthesia. 
• The transparent nature of the mask allows healthcare professionals to monitor the patient's mouth and nose for foreign material or condensation
