title: [Accessory anesthetic breathing systems: verification before use].
abstract: Accessory or ancillary anaesthesia breathing systems can be defined as all those connected to the fresh gas outlet of the anaesthetic apparatus and used instead of the circle system associated with the ventilator, which is the main circuit. They include: the Mapleson systems, the systems with a nonrebreathing valve and the disposable systems with a carbon dioxide absorber. They can be a cause of major accidents when not checked before and monitored during use. This technical note describes techniques of preanaesthetic checking and monitoring during anaesthesia.
