Fig. 35: Tube system for adults
At the patient's end of the inspiration tube, the temperature sensor for
controlling the tube temperature is inserted in the tube fitting.
The patient tube system can only be operated with temperature sensor,
because otherwise the opening for the sensor would prevent any build up
of pressure!
The connectors for the heating are plugged into the corresponding sockets
on the ventilator.
