Maintain safe, effective nitrous oxide sedation with this critical replacement reservoir bag. It helps to properly deliver gas and monitor respiratory function during conscious sedation procedures. Nitrous oxide (N2O) reservoir bag holds three liters of air.
During inhalation of sedation, reservoir bag provides patient additional gas should the respirator demands exceeds the gas flow delivered from the nitrous machine. Assuming an airtight seal of the nasal hood and no mouth breathing, the reservoir bag inflates slightly with every exhalation and deflates slightly with each inhalation, permitting the operator to easily determine respiratory rate.
Why This Reservoir Bag is Essential:
-
Ensures Adequate Gas Supply - 3-liter capacity provides supplemental gas when patient respiratory demand exceeds flow from the nitrous system.
-
Visual Respiratory Monitoring - Inflates with exhalation and deflates with inhalation, allowing you to easily monitor patient breathing rate and depth during sedation.
-
Latex-Free for Patient Safety - Eliminates risk of latex allergic reactions in sensitive patients.
-
Universal Compatibility - 7/8" inside diameter connector fits most nitrous oxide systems including Accutron, Porter, and other major brands.
-
Easy Installation - Slip-on design attaches quickly to the base of the bag-tee, typically below the emergency air inlet valve.
-
Durable Construction - High-quality materials withstand repeated use while maintaining integrity.
