A breathing bag (1 liter) is a medical device used in anesthesia and respiratory care to assist with manual ventilation. It is typically part of a breathing circuit and is used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients during surgeries, respiratory therapy, or emergencies. The 1-liter size is suitable for pediatric patients or smaller adults and is connected to an anesthesia machine or manual resuscitator (such as an Ambu bag).
The breathing bag allows the clinician to control the volume of air or anesthetic gases delivered to the patient’s lungs, ensuring proper ventilation. It is commonly used in operating rooms, ICUs, and emergency settings to support breathing in patients who are under anesthesia or have compromised respiratory function.
