Anesthetic breathing circuits

[zyovka]

Can anyone advise the source, that would explain breathing circuits for dummies? Doing truelearn here, and just can not wrap my brain around this subject and concepts. Like why do we even have to learn about Mapleson systems in their variety etc... Thank you.

Darn, I thought this was a position as an anesthetic breathing circuits rep. Had my hopes up.

The point is to refine understanding of ventilation v. oxygenation and shunt v. dead space. Otherwise, you're correct, it's a waste of time.

This is such a great and simple way to teach the breathing circle topic!!! Whoever came up with this idea must be close to be a genius... Thank you so much
