The Bain system: gas flows in small subjects.
Rabbits weighing 2-4 kg were ventilated using a Bain type co-axial circuit. Acceptable blood-gas tensions were achieved with a tidal volume of 10 ml kg-1, a frequency of 40 b.p.m., and a fresh gas flow of 3 litre min-1. This technique may be applicable to neonatal anaesthesia.
