Description
Key Features
Dual Limb Design: The circuit has two limbs: an inspiratory limb that delivers oxygen and air to the patient, and an expiratory limb that carries exhaled gases away. This design ensures efficient ventilation and helps maintain proper gas exchange.
Specialized Components: The circuit includes features such as:
Corrugated tubing: This flexible tubing is often segmented to provide durability and prevent kinking, which could interrupt airflow.
Water traps: These are typically included to collect condensation, preventing water from reaching the patient or the ventilator.
Humidifier adapter connector: This allows the circuit to be connected to a humidifier, which adds moisture and warmth to the air delivered to the patient.
Patient Y-connector: A Y-shaped piece that connects both the inspiratory and expiratory limbs to the patient's airway (via an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube).
Sterile and Single-Use: The product is pre-sterilized and designed for one-time use, which is critical for infection control in healthcare settings.
Compatibility: It is often designed to be compatible with specific models of ventilators, such as the Siemens Servo Ventilator and the Puritan-Bennett 7200a2, to ensure a secure and reliable connection.
Uses and Applications
The AirLife 001790 ventilator circuit is a vital component in respiratory care for patients who require mechanical ventilation. It is used in a variety of critical care settings, including:
Intensive Care Units (ICUs): For patients with respiratory failure, trauma, or chronic lung conditions.
Operating Rooms: To provide controlled ventilation for patients under anesthesia during surgery.
Emergency Departments: For rapid and effective respiratory support in emergency situations.
Neonatal and Pediatric Care: Some ventilator circuits are specifically adapted for neonatal and pediatric patients, ensuring appropriate support based on patient size and needs.
