A smaller-than-standard Bain circuit with the fresh gas
delivery tube inside the reservoir/waste gas tube. The fresh gas delivery tube
is 1/16" ID, the containment/reservoir tube is 1/4" ID with the nose
end flared to create an anesthesia facemask. Connects to standard 19mm and 22mm
evacuation tubing.
Non-rebreathing
circuits consist of two tubes. One delivers gas from the anesthesia machine to
the patient connection, then a second, usually larger tube, channels the waste
gases to evacuation. In this type of circuit any gas not utilized is
immediately directed toward the evacuation circuit. The waste gas tube should
be easily connectable to either a disposable charcoal canister or to an
in-house evacuation system. This type of circuit is usually configured with an
elbow, a tee or a straight connection to the nosecone/ET tube at the patient
end. The fresh gas tube can be located inside or outside the waste gas tube.
The internal diameters and overall lengths of the fresh gas and waste gas tubes
can vary greatly.
