Good morning
A question has been asked by our anaesthetics department to move way from our current practice of changing circuits after each session to weekly changes.
Our current practice is “there is filter at the patient end and a filter at the machine end. The filter is changed for each patient at the patient end and the circuit currently is changed at the end of each session be it morning or afternoon or if the circuit were moist in the meantime”.
Can I ask other areas what their current practice is in relation to circuit changes please?
