Abstract

Abstract An anaesthetic system comprising, (a) inspiratory low pressure fresh gas supply tube adapted to receive low pressure gas and adapted for attachment of a reservoir bag tube and having a valve for control of gas to and from the reservoir bag (b) an expiratory tube comprising: (i) a valve to open or close the tube to permit from free up to totally restricted flow of gases in and out of the expiratory tube and (ii) a relief valve to permit gases to exit when pressure in the expiratory tube exceeds a predetermined value (c) the inspiratory and expiratory tubes communicating with a patient's face piece and being substantially free of restricted flow of gases whereby a universal mode of anaesthetic administration to a patient can be achieved.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
An anaesthetic system comprising: (a) an inspiratory low pressure fresh gas supply tube having means for connection to a low pressure fresh gas supply, (b) said inspiratory tube including a reservoir bag connected near the inlet end of the tube through an adjustable valve, (c) an expiratory tube having outlet means for exhausting expiratory gas from the expiratory tube consisting of two outlets, the first outlet controlled by a valve means for allowing expiratory gas to exit the expiratory tube upstream from the second outlet which is controlled by a relief valve, (d) said inspiratory and expiratory tubes communicating with each other and being substantially free of restricted flow adjacent to a patient's face piece.
