Safe Noncircle System Use

Up

 

            

Noncircle systems like the stock Bain system are associated with a number of drawbacks. These drawbacks include the awkward delivery of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) including an uncertainty as to the actual pressures delivered during PPV, and difficulties collecting waste gases.

Adding a Bain Block (Armstrong Arm) rectifies these concerns. This ~$300 USD investment is money well spent. The Bain system attaches to the outlet to the left in the pictures above.. The reservoir bag is located in a familiar vertical position with the pop-off just above. A pressure manometer is included. Adding a pop-off occluson valve to the Bain Block completes a convenient and effective delivery system.

These Bain Blocks are available through the company links below.
