Y1 - 2024 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam, 2nd Edition AB - The anesthesia breathing system is a gas pathway that connects the patient’s airway to the anesthesia machine; it extends from the fresh gas inlet to the point where gas escapes, either into the atmosphere or into a scavenging system. The breathing system functions to deliver gas from the anesthesia machine to the patient and to remove carbon dioxide by washout or chemical neutralization. Throughout this circuit, there are many factors that have an impact on the delivery and exit of gases.
