Anesthesia Suite Guidelines
A modern anesthesia suite enhances patient safety, streamlines surgical workflow, and supports AAOMS‑level monitoring standards. This guide highlights the essential equipment—anesthesia machines, monitoring systems, surgical tables, and perioperative devices—recommended for building a reliable, compliant, and efficient OMS operatory. Unless you have ownership in a hospital, why finance their OP when you can perform the procedures in your own anesthesia suite?
