There are available breathing circuit types at a wide range in the market. The
function of any breathing
circuit is to
deliver oxygen and anesthetic
feasts, and
exclude carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide may
be excluded by either
flop with
acceptable fresh gas inflow (FGF), or by
pop lime
immersion.
Nexgen Medical's breathing circuit types are
used for
delivering oxygen and anesthetic
agents and to
count carbon dioxide during anesthesia. They
correspond of
different factors Fresh gas flux,
force bag,
breathing tubes, expiratory
cock, and
patient connection.
Breathing
system is an
assembly of
factors which connects case's airway to
anesthesia machine through which
controlled composition of
gas amalgamation is
allocated. A breathing
circuit delivers
gas to the case, removes departed
gas and controls the temperature and
humidity of the
inspired amalgamation. It allows
robotic,
controlled, or
supported respiration. It may
also give harbors for
gas slice, airway
pressure,
flux and
volume monitoring.
There are five
different arrangements of
factors of breathing
system, i.e.,
fresh gas flux,
breathing tube,
mask,
force bag, and expiratory
cock. These are
known as Mapleson
systems.
Ideal breathing
system should
be simple,
safe, or
affordable,
Suitable to
deliver intended inspired
gas amalgamation,
Effective and
allow low fresh gas flux and
suitable to
cover cases from barotrauma.
Breathing Tubes are
Large drag,
generally corrugated
tubes,
made of rubber or plastic.
Malleable pressure limiting stopcock in Breathing Circuit
Also called as;
pop-off
stopcock, exhaust
stopcock, scavenger
stopcock,
relief stopcock, expiratory
stopcock,over-spill
stopcocketc.
Features of Breathing Circuit
This
stopcock allows
exhaled waste feasts and
fresh gas flows to
leave the breathing
system when the
pressure within the breathing
system exceeds the
stopcock's
opening pressure
It's a one
way,
malleable,
spring-
loaded stopcock.
The
spring adjusts the
pressure needed to
open the
stopcock.
The
force bag is an
important element of
utmost breathing
systems.
Made of antistatic rubber or plastic.
Black bags are antistatic whereas
green bags are
made of
low charging
material which won't
produce dangerous charges but will the
bag from electric
fields.
