Introduction

screenshot from the simulation

There are two basic anesthetic circuits, rebreathing and non-rebreathing. This learning object outlines the operations of an anesthetic rebreathing circuit.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this simulation, you will be able to:

  • Identify parts of an anesthetic rebreathing circuit
  • Explain the specific function of each component

Completing this companion worksheet (doc) may help you better understand the concepts presented.

Select the "Parts of the Circuit" tab above to begin.

This learning object was designed to be fully accessible via mouse, keyboard, and screen reader.
