Question of the Day

Fresh gas flow rates in non-rebreathing system are high, varying from 200-300 ml/kg/min, depending on your system. A high flow rate like this will help remove exhaled CO₂.

This system will also work as partial rebreathing with flow rate at or below 130 ml/kg/min.

In general, non-rebreathing anesthetic systems use high flows, and are best for small patients.
