The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Flask is an indispensable medical device in anesthesia procedures, made of resistant high quality synthetic material. This bag stands out for its high elasticity and its ability to keep the pressure and volume of air or anesthetic gases constant during manual ventilation, thus ensuring controlled and safe administration. The green color allows you to quickly identify it among the different accessories and reduce possible errors during use in the operating room. The 3 liter volume allows it to be used effectively with adult patients, adapting perfectly to the needs of manual lung ventilation both in emergency situations and during the maintenance phases of anesthesia. Thanks to its flexibility, the balloon can be easily manipulated by healthcare personnel, facilitating control over the pressure exerted and improving patient comfort. The material of the Anesthetic Bag is designed to withstand repeated compression and decompression cycles without losing its physical properties, thus offering reliability and safety in prolonged procedures.
The balloon is latex-free, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions for both patients and healthcare workers. The external surface of the ball guarantees a firm and comfortable grip, even when wearing gloves. Compact and easy to connect to standard anesthetic circuits thanks to the universal connection, it is compatible with most ventilation equipment found in hospitals and veterinary or dental practices.
Therapeutic Indications
The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Bag is used as an integral part of manual and automatic ventilation systems during surgical interventions, diagnostic procedures and emergency situations where it is necessary to maintain adequate ventilation of the patient. It is indicated for adult patients during general anesthesia, deep sedation or any condition requiring transient ventilatory support. Thanks to its composition and volumetric capacity, it allows optimal modulation of the inspired and expired tidal volume. Its usability also extends to emergency ventilation in mobile units, intensive care departments, veterinary and dental clinics that require a reliable device for manual airway management. Its functionality prevents hypoventilation and hyperventilation, regulating intrapulmonary pressure and thus ensuring patient safety in the intraoperative and post-operative course.
The anesthetic balloon also promotes training and medical simulation, making it a versatile tool in training activities and practical exercises for managing the respiratory system. It is essential during the intra-hospital transport of anesthetized patients, in cases where position changes are necessary or during the transition from mechanical to manual ventilation. The ease of use and the quality of the material make it a safe and durable ally in different healthcare settings.
Composition
The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is made of medical synthetic material specially designed to guarantee elasticity, resistance and impermeability to gases. Latex-free, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and protects operators and patients from possible complications due to sensitization. The construction material offers good elastic memory, maintaining shape and functionality even after numerous uses and sterilization cycles.
The walls of the balloon are thick enough to avoid accidental breakage but remain light and easily compressible. The universal polyethylene connection ensures compatibility with most standard anesthetic circuits, integrating with both non-return valves and face mask fittings. The outer surface is designed to provide a non-slip grip and easy control during prolonged manual ventilation. The green color is obtained with non-toxic and indelible pigments, which allow both rapid identification and sterilization without chromatic alterations or release of unwanted substances.
Contraindications
The use of the 3 liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is contraindicated in patients with specific hypersensitivity to the components of the synthetic material, even if latex is absent. It is not recommended for use on pediatric or neonatal patients, for whom there are smaller volume bags more suited to their ventilatory needs and the shape of the respiratory system.
Do not use the bag if you find breakages, cracks, alterations to the surface or the connector, as this could compromise patient safety and the effectiveness of ventilation. It is important not to use the device with gases other than those foreseen in standard anesthesia or ventilation procedures.
Safety of the drug for the species
The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is manufactured to the highest safety standards for medical devices, and is designed for safe use on both human and animal adult patients. The total absence of latex significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions and sensitization. The structure is extremely resistant to repeated compression cycles, avoiding tearing or gas leakage, offering constant ventilation without micro-leaks.
The seal guarantee and compatibility with different anesthetic circuits allow versatile and safe use in multiple clinical contexts. Safety in use is also increased by the possibility of sterilization through common methods and by the absence of release of toxic substances in standard operating conditions. However, it is recommended to replace the device in case of signs of structural deterioration.
Precautions
Before each use it is essential to inspect the Anesthetic Bag to verify the integrity of the surface and the effectiveness of the connection to the circuits. In case of signs of wear, color change or abnormal flexibility, the device must be replaced immediately. Careful hand hygiene is recommended before and after handling the ball and scrupulous cleaning between one use and another, according to the procedures indicated by the healthcare or veterinary facility.
It is necessary to keep the flask away from sources of intense heat, sharp objects or aggressive chemicals that could damage its structure or alter its mechanical properties. After cleaning or sterilization, ensure that the device is completely dry before using it again to avoid the formation of mold or bacteria in the folds of the material. Keep out of reach of children and use only under the supervision of qualified personnel.
Method of administration
The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Flask is connected directly to the anesthetic circuit or to the manual ventilation system via the universal connection, ensuring perfect adhesion to avoid gas leaks. During the procedure, the professional compresses and releases the balloon, thus modulating the volume of inspired and expired gas, based on the individual ventilatory needs of the adult patient.
Administration can occur in combination with non-return valves and face masks or endotrachal connectors, according to the protocol established for the specific clinical procedure. It is recommended to always follow the healthcare facility's guidelines for optimal and safe administration, avoiding excess pressure and constantly checking the effectiveness of ventilation through vital parameters and instrumental monitoring.
Treatment program
The 3 liter Green Anesthetic Balloon is used whenever manual ventilatory assistance is expected or necessary during anesthesia, sedation or emergencies. Its use can be continuous for the entire duration of the procedure, and ends when the patient regains respiratory autonomy or switches to automatic ventilation.
In emergency or in-hospital care situations, the bag can be used intermittently, depending on clinical needs and the patient's response. After each use, we recommend careful washing and, if indicated, a sterilization cycle before the next application.
Target species
Suitable for adult human and animal patients who require manual ventilatory support during anesthetic procedures, sedation or respiratory emergencies.
