An important anaesthesia parameter is monitoring the proper airway pressure in the patient.

A Manometer is a standard piece of equipment on all anaesthesia machine used to measure this pressure in CMs of H2O.

Non rebreathing circuits are used on smaller more fragile patients. There is a higher risk of inadvertent alveoli damage or barotrauma when “bagging” or manually ventilating a patient.

There have been cases of pneumothorax. The flush valve on an anesthesia machine will immediately push up oxygen flow to 15L at 50psi into a small non breathing circuit. The new in line manometer gives accurate airway pressure to avoid harmful over inflation, but still ensure adequate ventilation is achieved.

• Simple to use – detach rebreathing bag and insert Manometer
