ABSTRACT:
A system for use with assisted human breathing systems which includes an enclosure adapted to receive a granular material for absorption of carbon dioxide from the air exhausted from a patient using the system. An exhausted air inlet is provided to the device, and a return air outlet is provided from the device to the user. The exhausted air inlet and the return air outlet are in communicative relation through the granular material contained within the apparatus. The enclosure which contains the granular material is insulated so that heat generated by the absorption of carbon dioxide onto the granular material is retained by the return air stream emitted from the enclosure. Insulated tubing can be provided to be connected between the device and the patient so as to decrease heat loss and condensation of moisture from the circulating air. The enclosure can isolate breathing gases from other parts of the system to prevent contaminated patient gases from contacting mechanical parts of an anesthesia machine associated with the breathing system, and prevent contamination of the patient by gases that have been in contact with internal mechanical parts of the anesthesia machine which have been in contact with gas breathed by prior patients.
