    AbstractA suitable anaesthetic technique was needed for oral surgery in infants in a developing country. As an air compressor was present, and oxygen accessible, a continuous flow technique was chosen. Two Boyle's machines--useless due to lack of soda lime and nitrous oxide--were converted without increasing susceptibility to technical and supplemental deficiencies. The challenge to simplify techniques without reducing patient safety is discussed, and the solutions in an Ethiopian hospital are presented.
