Anaesthesia breathing circuits are single-use medical devices used during general anaesthesia to deliver oxygen, anaesthetic gases, and ventilation to patients via an artificial airway or mask. They create a closed system connecting the anaesthesia machine to the patient, ensuring controlled delivery of breathing gases while allowing exhaled air to be safely expelled.
These circuits are typically classified as single-use and regulated under medical device standards to ensure safety and performance. They may include components like ventilation bags, CO₂ absorbers, or pressure-limiting valves, but are always designed for one-time use only to prevent contamination and cross-infection.
