What is use of Bain circuit?
– Bain circuits use a high fresh gas flow to deliver anesthetic gases to the patient’s airway and to wash out the exhaled carbon dioxide. – An inner tube delivers fresh gases and an outer corrugated tube serves as the outlet for exhaled gases.

What is a rebreathing circuit?
Rebreathing (Circle) System Used only with low flow techniques in which oxygen delivery is calculated to meet metabolic needs.
What are breathing circuits made of?
They consist of different components: Fresh gas flow, reservoir bag, breathing tubes, expiratory valve, and patient connection.
What is the most powerful anesthetic?
Propofol is one of the most commonly used intravenous drugs employed to induce and maintain general anesthesia. It can also be used for sedation during procedures or in the ICU.
