35
Q

NonRebreathing systems Characteristics

A

Highly dependent on fresh gas flow
No unidirectional valves
No CO2 absorber
Little resistance to breathing

36
Q

Gas flows for Bain/ Mapleson D

A

FGF 2-3 * VE or 5 l/m, whichever is greater

37
Q

Advantages of the circle systems

A
  1. .constant inspired concentrations
  2. conserve respiratory heat and humidity
  3. useful for all ages (may use down to 10 kg, about one year of age, or less with a pediatric disposable circuit)
  4. useful for closed system or low-flow
  5. low resistance (less than tracheal tube, but more than a NRB circuit)
38
Q

Circle disadvantage

A
  1. increased dead space

2. malfunctions of unidirectional valves

39
