Abstract: Background: The anaesthetic machine (AM) is one of the most essential devices used by anaesthesiologist's, and understanding its characteristics and functions is a crucial component of anaesthetic practice. The pre-use check to ensure the correct functioning of AM and equipment is essential to patient safety. The check is included in the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist. Aims of this study: To evaluate if the technicians perform sufficient check or not. In addition, if there were, any problems reported because of insufficient check. Methodology: Descriptive cross-sectional study used online questionnaire. Google Forms app was the best option available because of the global pandemic covid-19. Most questions in this study were multiple choice and some were short answers. Results: The total responses received are 53 from 18 different hospitals, the most from Zliten Hospital with 13 responses. The majority of participants' experience years were less than five years with 60.38% (n=32). Participants Most of the answers showed a middling presence of constantly checking. The highest always-checking rate was for ventilators with 81.12% (n=43). From the total number of participants, 45.28% (n=24) experience problems related to inadequate check of AM before anaesthesia .Conclusion: This study's results demonstrate that the standard of checking anaesthetic equipment before use is inappropriate as a 24 of them reported problems related to poor check .
