Disposable Medical Adult Patient Use Anaesthesia Breathing Circuit With HME Filter

Disposable Medical Adult Patient Use Anaesthesia Breathing Circuit with HME Filter

Product description 

The Breathing Circuit is a fundamental component of respiratory equipment used in medical settings to facilitate the delivery of gases to patients during ventilation procedures. It consists of a series of interconnected tubes and connectors that form a pathway for the flow of gases between the patient and the ventilator or anesthesia machine.

Key Components of a Breathing Circuit:

Patient Interface: The part of the circuit that connects to the patient's airway, which can include components like endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy tubes, masks, or nasal cannulas.
Inspiratory Limb: The limb of the circuit through which gas flows from the ventilator to the patient during inhalation.
Expiratory Limb: The limb of the circuit through which gas flows from the patient back to the ventilator during exhalation.
Y-Piece Connector: The junction where the inspiratory and expiratory limbs of the circuit meet, directing gas flow appropriately during the breathing cycle.
Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) Filter: A component in the circuit that helps humidify and warm the inspired gases, as well as filter out contaminants from the exhaled gases.
Swivel Connector: A flexible connector that allows movement and positioning of the patient interface without disrupting the gas flow.

Product Description of Breathing Circuit:

The Breathing Circuit is an essential device in respiratory care, designed to maintain a clear and efficient pathway for the exchange of gases between the patient and the respiratory equipment. It ensures the delivery of oxygen and other gases to the patient's lungs while removing carbon dioxide during exhalation.

The Breathing Circuit is available in various configurations to suit different ventilation modes, patient types, and clinical requirements. It is crucial for ensuring proper gas exchange, maintaining lung function, and supporting patients who require respiratory support in critical care, operating rooms, emergency departments, and other healthcare settings.

When selecting a Breathing Circuit, factors such as compatibility with the ventilator, patient comfort, ease of use, and infection control measures should be considered to optimize patient care and safety during respiratory interventions. Regular monitoring and maintenance of the Breathing Circuit are essential to ensure its integrity and effectiveness in providing respiratory support to patients.

Application

• Mechanical Ventilation: Breathing circuits are essential components of mechanical ventilators used in intensive care units (ICUs), operating rooms, and emergency departments to provide respiratory support to patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own.
• Anesthesia Administration: Breathing circuits are utilized during anesthesia administration to deliver a precise mixture of gases (including oxygen and anesthetic agents) to maintain a patient's airway, support respiration, and ensure proper gas exchange during surgical procedures.
• Respiratory Therapy: Breathing circuits are employed in respiratory therapy to deliver oxygen therapy, humidity, and therapeutic gases to patients with various respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
• Postoperative Care: Breathing circuits play a crucial role in postoperative care, assisting patients in recovering normal respiratory function following surgery and anesthesia by providing adequate oxygenation and ventilation support.
• Critical Care Units: Breathing circuits are vital in critical care units, such as the ICU, where patients with severe respiratory illnesses, respiratory failure, or those undergoing mechanical ventilation require precise gas delivery and monitoring.
• Neonatal Intensive Care: Breathing circuits are used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to provide respiratory support to premature infants and newborns with respiratory distress, ensuring appropriate oxygen levels and ventilation.
• Transportation: Breathing circuits are utilized during patient transportation within healthcare facilities or during interfacility transfers to maintain respiratory support and gas exchange for critically ill patients.
• Home Ventilation: Breathing circuits are adapted for use in home ventilation setups for patients requiring long-term respiratory support, such as those with neuromuscular disorders, obstructive sleep apnea, or chronic respiratory conditions.
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS): Breathing circuits are employed by emergency medical service providers to deliver oxygen and assist ventilation in prehospital settings for patients in respiratory distress or experiencing respiratory failure.
• Sleep Medicine: Breathing circuits are utilized in sleep medicine for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to treat sleep apnea and maintain an open airway during sleep by delivering a continuous flow of pressurized air.

FAQ

1.What are the different types of anesthesia breathing circuits?
One method of classifying anesthesia breathing systems is based on how gas flows: open, semi-open, semi-closed, and closed systems. This classification method is dictated by the physical characteristics of each system.
 

2.What is the best circuit for spontaneous breathing?
Mapleson A is the circuit of choice for spontaneous respiration, because there is negligible rebreathing. Flow of fresh gas required is 70-85 ml/kg/min, i.e., approximately 5-6 lit./min fresh gas flow for an average adult.
 

3.What is the difference between a breathing and rebreathing patient circuit?
Rebreathing circuits help keep patients warmer and help to retain moisture. Non-rebreathing circuits require high gas flows and steal heat and moisture from the patient. And the loss of body heat and moisture are key complications of anesthesia that we face with every patient, especially smaller patients.
 

4.Who invented the breathing circuit?
Inventor of the Bain breathing circuit; a prototype initially regarded by his university as a 'bunch of plastic;' was a significant advance in anaesthesia and a modification of the Mapleson D circuit.
 

5.How to use a breathing circuit?
The user inhales from the bag through a corrugated tube and one-way check valve at the facepiece. Exhaled air passes through a second check-valve breathing-tube assembly into the canister. The O2 release rate is governed by the volume of exhaled air, and CO2 is removed by the canister fill.
 

6.What is the function of the breathing circuit?
Anesthesia Gas Machine- Breathing circuits
The function of any breathing circuit is to deliver oxygen and anesthetic gases, and eliminate carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide may be eliminated by either washout with adequate fresh gas flow (FGF), or by soda lime absorption.
 

7.What is a breathing circuit in the ICU?
A Bain Circuit is a semi-open breathing circuit that does not recirculate respiratory gases and relies on high fresh gas flow rates to prevent rebreathing.
