Breathing circuits, also known as respiratory circuits or ventilator circuits, are medical devices used to deliver a mixture of gases, including oxygen and anesthetic agents, to a patient's respiratory system. These circuits play a crucial role in facilitating artificial ventilation, assisting or controlling a patient's breathing, and providing necessary gases during medical procedures or when a patient is unable to breathe adequately on their own.
