    A novel universal co-axial anesthetic system functions as both Mapleson A and D circuits. This versatile anesthesia circuit offers comparable efficiency and economy to traditional systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Device Design

    Context:

    • Development of adaptable anesthetic delivery systems is crucial for diverse clinical scenarios.
    • Existing anesthesia circuits often require modification or replacement for different ventilation modes.

    Purpose:

    • To design and evaluate a universal co-axial anesthetic system.
    • To assess the system's interchangeability between Mapleson A and D configurations.
    • To compare its performance against conventional anesthesia circuits.

    Summary:

    • A universal co-axial anesthetic system was designed, functioning as Mapleson A for spontaneous ventilation and Mapleson D for controlled ventilation.
    • The system allows convenient conversion by interchanging components without patient disconnection.
    • Flow resistance was within acceptable limits, and efficiency in Mapleson A mode was comparable to the Magill circuit in spontaneous breathing volunteers, showing no significant rebreathing differences.
