The
corrugated breathing circuit typically includes a corrugated hose connected to an anesthesia machine or ventilator, a patient connector, an expiratory limb, and a CO2 absorbent canister. The patient connector is attached to the patient's airway, such as an endotracheal tube or mask, and the expiratory limb is connected to a scavenging system to remove exhaled CO2. The CO2 absorbent canister helps to remove CO2 from the circuit to prevent it from accumulating and entering the patient's lungs.
Corrugated Breathing circuits are commonly used in operating rooms, intensive care units, and other settings where anesthesia and respiratory care is provided. They are preferred for their high flexibility, kink resistance, and the ability to withstand high-pressure and vacuum. They can be used for both adult and pediatric patients.
In summary, Corrugated Breathing Circuit is a type of breathing circuit used in anesthesia and respiratory care, which is made up of a series of corrugated tubing that is connected to an anesthesia machine or ventilator. The circuit is designed to provide flexibility, maneuverability, and higher gas flow rates. It is used for both adult and pediatric patients and is preferred for its high flexibility, kink resistance, and the ability to withstand high-pressure and vacuum.
