Description
Key Features:
The specific configuration of the 1080393 circuit includes several key components that dictate its functionality and ideal clinical applications:
1/2 Liter Breathing Bag: The smaller size of the breathing bag is suitable for patients with smaller lung capacities, such as pediatric patients or small adults.
Integrated Manometer: A built-in pressure gauge (manometer) provides real-time visual feedback of the patient's airway pressure. This is a critical safety feature to help prevent barotrauma (lung injury from excessive pressure).
12-Inch Corrugated Tubing: This flexible tubing connects the components of the circuit and provides a degree of freedom in positioning the device.
Gas Sampling Elbow: This port allows for the connection of gas analysis equipment to monitor the concentration of anesthetic gases and end-tidal carbon dioxide, which is a standard of care in anesthesia.
Bag Tail Bleed Valve: This adjustable valve allows for the controlled release of excess gas from the circuit, which is essential for managing the pressure within the breathing system.
7-Foot Oxygen Tubing: This provides ample length to connect the circuit to a fresh gas source, such as an anesthesia machine or a standalone flowmeter.
Primary Uses:
The dual-purpose nature of this Mapleson circuit allows for its use in a variety of clinical scenarios requiring respiratory support, including:
Anesthesia Delivery: It is commonly used in operating rooms and other settings where anesthesia is administered for both spontaneously breathing and manually ventilated patients.
Patient Transport: Its lightweight and compact design make it a practical choice for providing respiratory support while moving patients within a hospital or between facilities.
Resuscitation: In emergency situations, it can be used for manual ventilation to support or control a patient's breathing.
Procedural Sedation: During procedures that require sedation, this circuit can be used to deliver supplemental oxygen and monitor respiration.
