An interchangeable Mapleson A-E breathing system is practical and cost effective.
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2006; (1): 45-9
In locations where oxygen and anesthesia gas supplies are limited, and where circle systems are not practical, means to reduce fresh gas flow during maintenance of inhalational anesthesia are of potential value. We investigated whether a common transport breathing apparatus could be modified to allow interchange between Mapleson D (Map-D) and Mapleson A (Map A) configurations.
