►Acknowledgements

I gratefully acknowledge the help and support of family members, friends, students, assistants, and teachers. I thank my family (Beverly, Noah, and Ben) for allowing me the time required to prepare both the computer program and this textbook. I thank my son, Ben, for the design of the Gas Man icon. I thank the staff and especially the residents of Brigham and Women's Hospital who afforded me the opportunity to develop and test both the program and text. Daniel Raemer, PhD provided insight and assistance in the initial system model. David Leith, MD provided information on scaling over wide weight ranges. Pauline Wong, DVM and other veterinary anesthesiologists encouraged me to actually add the wide range of weight capability. Iggy Calalang tested various components of the simulation for consistency. Khaled Khodr tested the implementation of some of Gas Man's new features including the second gas effect and weight scaling. Xin Bao Ji, PhD and Jeff Mandel, MD each tested various portions of the mathematics using analytic and simulation techniques. Ed Trautman completed the transition from Apple II to Macintosh. And, since 1990, Hal Franklin has designed and implemented the graphical user interface and optimized the underlying math to make Gas Man easy to use and easy to learn from. In doing so, he added numerous new features and ideas that only an insightful mathematician-engineer-physiologist could envision and implement. Conversion of Gas Man on different platforms via Qt to single program for multiple operating systems was done by ICS with Mark Hatch leading the group. The Gas Man Book in several versions was edited by Ron Waife, Jamie Bell, and Hal Franklin. Anne Kamara, my trusted administrative assistant, supported me in all my tasks related to this endeavor.

And I thank the enthusiastic Gas Man users and teachers who continue to encourage me to develop and release new versions, allowing a wider audience of users to draw benefit from this work.

►Med Man Simulations Inc, a nonprofit corporation

Med Man Simulations, Inc. (MMSI) is a nonprofit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was created to foster the development and use of simulation in health care. The original corporation was formed in 1995 with the same mission.

At that time, MMSI was a for-profit corporation with the intent that it run in a self-sustaining manner and support the educational goals. Gas Man® is the first and currently the only product produced and distributed by MMSI. It has been widely acclaimed and positively reviewed in numerous journals. It is used by individuals and institutions around the world. In 2007 the corporate structure was converted to nonprofit. MMSI is now a tax-exempt Public Educational and Research Charity under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3).
