Abstract
Clinicians might have opportunities to recognize different types of mechanical ventilators circuits and compare them in critical care situations. As a clinician it is important to know the features of those configurations and take them into consideration when choosing modes and settings for patients because it affects the outcome of monitoring and ventilators' performance.
There are three types of ventilators circuits: double limb, single limb with exhalation valve, and single limb with exhalation port.
