Disposable Breathing Circuit Extendable

Disposable Breathing Circuit Extendable

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Extended Reach for Remote Patient Positioning

• Primary Use: Provides a single-use, extendable breathing circuit that allows for increased distance between the anesthesia machine and the patient. This is essential for procedures requiring remote patient positioning, such as MRI suites, interventional radiology, or procedures where the anesthesia machine must be placed away from the patient.

• How it helps: For the anesthesiologist and operating room team, the extendable circuit provides the flexibility to position the anesthesia machine at a safe or convenient distance while maintaining reliable gas delivery to the patient. For the patient, this means anesthesia can be safely administered even when the patient is located in areas where space is limited or where equipment must be kept at a distance.

2. MRI Suite Compatibility

• Primary Use: Designed for use in MRI suites where standard anesthesia circuits are insufficient due to distance requirements or magnetic field safety. Extendable circuits allow the anesthesia machine to be placed outside the MRI room while the patient remains inside the scanning area.

• How it helps: For the anesthesiologist and MRI technologist, the extendable circuit enables safe administration of anesthesia during MRI procedures—keeping the anesthesia machine outside the magnetic field while maintaining continuous gas delivery. For the patient undergoing MRI under anesthesia, this means they can receive necessary imaging without interruption of respiratory support.

3. Interventional Radiology and Remote Procedures

• Primary Use: Used in interventional radiology suites and other procedural areas where the anesthesia machine must be positioned away from the sterile field or radiation source, providing extended reach without compromising gas delivery.

• How it helps: For the anesthesia provider and interventional team, the extendable circuit allows the anesthesia machine to be placed in a safe location away from radiation or sterile fields while maintaining continuous ventilation. For the patient undergoing interventional procedures, this ensures uninterrupted anesthesia support without compromising the procedural environment.

4. Long-Distance Transport Ventilation

• Primary Use: Provides extended length for transporting ventilated patients over longer distances within the facility, allowing the ventilator to be positioned conveniently while maintaining patient connection.

• How it helps: For the transport team and respiratory therapist, the extendable circuit provides the flexibility needed for complex transports—allowing the ventilator to be placed on a cart or at the bedside while the patient is moved. For the ventilated patient being transported, this ensures continuous respiratory support without interruption.

5. Modular Extension Capability

• Primary Use: Designed with modular connections that allow additional extension segments to be added, providing customizable length based on the specific clinical requirements.

• How it helps: For the clinical team, modular extension allows the circuit length to be tailored to the specific procedure or patient location—reducing the need for multiple circuit types. For the patient, this ensures that the circuit length is appropriate for their procedure without excess tubing that could pose a tripping or entanglement hazard.

SECONDARY & SUPPORTIVE USES

1. Remote Anesthesia Workstations: Allows anesthesia machines to be positioned away from the patient in challenging clinical spaces.

2. Isolation Room Ventilation: Provides extended reach for ventilating patients in isolation rooms where equipment must be kept outside.

3. C-arm and Fluoroscopy Procedures: Enables anesthesia machine placement away from imaging equipment during fluoroscopic procedures.

4. Bariatric Patient Transport: Provides extended length for transporting larger patients where standard circuits may be too short.

5. Pediatric Anesthesia: Available in pediatric sizes for children requiring extended circuits.

6. Disaster Response and Field Medicine: Used in temporary medical facilities where equipment placement is constrained by space.
