Note about the total resistance of the
breathing system and connected acces-
sories
In these instructions for use, the chapter Technical
Data indicates the inspiratory and expiratory
breathing resistance of the breathing system with-
out breathing hoses. Therefore, it is possible to de-
termine the resulting resistance on the patient when
using different hose sets and/or filters.
The following formula is used to calculate the re-
sistance (R):
RExpiration =
R
BreathingSys_exsp + RExpHose + RExpFilter
RInspiration =
RBreathingSys_insp + RInspHose + RBreathingBagHose +
RInspFilter
Only resistance data obtained under the same flow
conditions may be added up, e.g., for adults, the re-
sistance data at 60 L/min, for pediatric patients at
30 L/min and for neonates at 5 L/min.
If a filter is used on the Y-piece, the resistance for
both the inspiratory and expiratory direction must
be taken into account.
The standard for anesthesia breathing systems
(ISO 8835-2) specifies a total resulting pressure
drop at 60 L/min of 6.0 hPa max., both inspiratory
and expiratory.
z Follow the instructions for use of the respective
accessories.
