==Vapouriser In-Circuit Machines==
Komesaroff and Stephens' anaesthetic machines are both examples of a vapouriser in-circuit machine. They are essentially a circle breathing system with one or more draw-over vapourisers within the circuit. They are economical due to very low required gas flows but disadvantages include possible overdosing and performance of vapouriser may be contaminated by water vapour.
