2Placetheairwayadapterattheproximalendoftheairwaycircuit.
CAUTION
Always insert the patient sampling line into the water trap port
before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. Failure
to follow this may introduce a leak in the circuit, thereby reducing
set minute volume.
Note
Do not place the airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow
as this may allow patient secretions to accumulate in the adapter. If
pooling does occur, replace the airway adapter. To prevent moisture
from draining into the airway adapter, always place the adapter
tubing in a up position, as shown above.
