    Dear Fiona,

    As way of acknowledgement of your email, we use disposable breathing circuits – a Bain circuit and have been lucky not to experience any supply problems. So sorry I am of no help.

    Kind regards Brenda

    Hi All,

    I posted this query earlier in the month without a response, if anyone is able to provide some insight I would be happy for you to email me personally.

    In our facility we have been using disposable anaesthetic circuits for a number of years. However with COVID / Pandemic demand there has been a shortage of disposable circuits and the alternative option has been a reusable circuit. I would be interested to hear from other facilities who use the reusable circuits regarding any identified IPC issues / risks and how these have been overcome.

    Also if you have the choice is which type of circuit would you prefer and why?

    Kind regards,
