Controlled ventilation with a Mapleson A (Magill) breathing system: reassessment using a lung model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used a lung model to reassess the efficiency of the Magill attachment during controlled ventilation in which the pattern of ventilation, tidal volume and fresh gas flows were varied. Adjustment of the inspiratory:expiratory ratio to ensure a prolonged expiratory phase is recommended, to improve efficiency and predictability of the system, if its use is necessary for short periods during controlled ventilation in clinical practice.

The single lever Humphrey A.D.E. anaesthetic system, in both coaxial and parallel (non-coaxial)forms, has recently been introduced. In principle the system offers efficient "universal" function by combining the advantages of Mapleson A, D and E systems. A within-patient comparison of its function in the Mapteson A mode (lever up) in spontaneously-breathing anaesthetized subjects was made to tha...
متن کاملA composite semiclosed anaesthetic system suitable for controlled or spontaneous respiration.
FOR patients who are breathing spontaneously the Magill attachment or system A (Mapleson, 1954) is the most widely used semiclosed anaesthetic system. A theoretical analysis predicted that if the freshgas inflow were made at least equal to the patient's minute-volume ventilation, then rebreathing would be eliminated (Mapleson, 1954). A similar conclusion has been reached experimentally by vario...

We have compared an alternative breathing system for preoxygenation comprising a Hudson face mask with high oxygen inflow (48 litre min-1) and a Mapleson A breathing system (100 ml kg-1 min-1). The study consisted of two parts: the first involved adult volunteers (10 male, seven female) and the second part used a lung model for spontaneous ventilation with a sinusoidal ventilatory wave pattern....
متن کاملPositive pressure ventilation using a semiclosed system: a reassessment.
The use of a semidosed system (the Magill attachment) for positive pressure breathing was investigated. Various patterns of ventilation were used and their effects assessed by serial measurement of the arterial carbon dioxide. It was found that this could be kept within limits comparable to those found during normal sleep using a flow of fresh gases as low as 5 l./min. This result was most easi...
متن کاملAnaesthetic breathing systems in the accident and emergency department.
We report two cases where patients with an acute head injury developed hypercapnia as a result of the inappropriate use of the Magill breathing circuit. The Magill circuit is inefficient when used for controlled ventilation because the patient is ventilated with his own expired gas and develops hypercapnia. The suitability of alternative breathing systems are discussed.
