Abstract:
We present an automatic closed circuit anaesthesia ventilator designed for routine clinical use. The ventilator combines the benefits of high flow systems and true closed circuits, without their disadvantages. The system can be used with any FiO2, with air or nitrous oxide as carrier gas. Servo controlled delivery of modern volatile anaesthetics is regulated on end-tidal value. The time constant for increase or decrease of concentrations is only a few minutes. There is no need to open the system at any time, nor is it necessary to increase the fresh gas flow. An automatic flush procedure prevents accumulation of unwanted gases. Operation is as easy as contemporary non-closed circuit ventilators. With this machine, closed circuit anaesthesia is possible from the beginning to the end of the procedure.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
