Abstract

The compliance of three types of breathing tubing commonly used in lung ventilators was measured. The black rubber corrugated tubing commonly used in anaesthetic circuits is too compliant for use in ventilators in intensive care. It is suggested that the international draft standard of compliance for breathing tubes used in lung ventilators should be amended.
