We experienced the leakage from the vaporizer of the anesthetic machine despite the normalities on performing the initial leak test. The vaporizer of the anesthetic machine was compressed by computer keyboard of EMR which caused a leak from vaporizer. After computer keyboard and the vaporizer were set at normal position, the leak stopped.
