Components of the circle system: G0; absorber, rresh gas inlet, unK-adirectional valves (Inspiratory and expiratory), breathing tubes (Inspiratory land expiratory), a Y-connector, APL valve. and reservowr bag, Circle system allows for a uni-directional flow of anesthetic gases, Carpon dioxice absorber (eg soda-time) allows rebreathing of anesthetic gases arter the removal o exhaled carbon dioxide. This conserves anesthetic gases and ius reduces ait pollution How green is my operation theatre? Almost all anesthetic gases (volatile agents and nitrous oxide) are aggressive greenhouse gases.
