Ventilator Breathing Circuit

Key Features:

Tubing System: Consists of flexible tubing that connects the patient to the ventilator.

Inspiratory and Expiratory Limbs: Typically comprises separate limbs for inspiratory and expiratory phases of the breathing cycle.

Y-Piece Connector: Includes a Y-piece connector that interfaces with the endotracheal tube or other airway devices.

Heated Wire or Humidification Chamber: Some circuits have a heated wire or humidification chamber to warm and humidify inspired gases.

Bacterial/Viral Filter: Equipped with a filter to prevent the entry of contaminants into the patient’s airways.

Circuit Disconnect Port: Allows for temporary disconnection without compromising the patient’s airway.

Corrugated Tubing: Tubing may be corrugated for flexibility and to prevent kinks.

Patient End Adapter: Connects to the patient’s airway device, such as an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube.

Pressure Monitoring Port: Some circuits include ports for monitoring airway pressure.

Sterile Packaging: Supplied in sterile packaging to maintain aseptic conditions during use.
