Study Notes
- The text discusses various respiratory systems used in anesthesia, including the Magill (Mapleson A), Lack (Mapleson A), Mapleson B and C, Mapleson D (Bain), and T-piece (Mapleson E and F) systems.
- Magill (Mapleson A) system: Coaxial tubing (1.8 meters long), wide-diameter inside tube (14 mm), and outer tube (30 mm) to reduce resistance. Not suitable for children under 25-30 kg due to increased dead space.
- Lack (Mapleson A) system: Similar to the Magill system but with a shorter tube. Functionally almost equally efficient for spontaneous and controlled ventilation.
- Mapleson B and C systems: Similar in function to Mapleson A, but the fresh gas flow inlet is near the APL valve. Not commonly used due to the lack of advantage.
- Mapleson D (Bain) system: Coaxial system with a fresh gas inlet that minimizes mixing of fresh and exhaled gases. Most commonly used semi-closed circuit in anesthesia and suitable for controlled ventilation.
- T-piece system (Mapleson E and F): Valveless breathing system for children up to 25-30 kg body weight. Suitable for spontaneous ventilation but requires more fresh gas (2.5 times of minute ventilation). Does not have a breathing bag and is not a complete circuit.
