Non rebreathing circuit systems require a high fresh gas flow to prevent rebreathing of exhaled gases the removal of co 2 depends on fresh gas flow and a flow rate of 3 times of the patient s minute ventilation this is usually at an oxygen flow rate of 200 250 ml per kg of body weight per minute is recommended.
Non rebreathing circuit cat.
Non rebreathing circuit nrb bain vs rebreathing circle systems.
If you have active scavenge you may need to use higher flow rates.
Oxygen flow rates should be.
Veterinary anesthesia circuits explained.
Use nrb circuits for patients less than 3 kg 7 lbs.
This brief summary of the two most popular anesthesia circuits currently in use is intended as an easy reference to simplify and explain the strengths and advantages of both systems.
Oxygen flow rate of non rebreathing circuits.
Currently the terminology describes the breathing systems as non rebreathing or rebreathing see figures 1 2 for majority of procedures regardless of variations of teaching practice and geographical location provision of two simple pieces of information can be quite adequate for description of a breathing circuit.
These circuits do not use a soda lime canister but instead use specially designed circuits and a higher fresh gas flow to remove carbon dioxide.
And can accelerate the rate of change in inhalant concentration in the anesthetic circuit.
Non rebreathing nrb circuits depend upon high oxygen flow rates to prevent rebreathing of co 2.
The oxygen flush valve should never be used when a cat is connected to an nrc.
