Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Jackson Rees Pediatric Circuit used for?
It is used in pediatric anesthesia to deliver fresh gas and facilitate spontaneous or assisted ventilation for infants and young children.
Why is minimal dead space important in pediatric anesthesia?
Infants have smaller tidal volumes, so minimizing dead space ensures efficient gas exchange and prevents rebreathing of exhaled carbon dioxide.
What makes the Jackson Rees Circuit ideal for infants?
Its lightweight design, low resistance, and small rebreathing bag allow gentle ventilation suited for delicate pediatric lungs.
