Anaesthesia breathing circuits are reusable systems that deliver medical gases from an anaesthesia machine to a patient during general anaesthesia. They include components like breathing tubes, connectors, and often a ventilation bag or valves to control airflow and CO₂ absorption, ensuring safe gas exchange during surgery.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment under national or regional health authorities, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are designed for repeated use in clinical settings, requiring proper sterilization and maintenance protocols to maintain performance and patient safety.
