<p>The patient connection of a respiratory gas system includes a corrugated connection element (20) between the patient's manifold (16) and the endrotracheal tube (18) or other delivery element. The element's walls are formed into special corrugations which can assume any of three relaxed states. In one state the corrugations are compressed. In a second state the corrugations are extended and in the third state the corrugations have the first state at one region of the corrugation and have the second state at the diametric region of the corrugation. Lengths of the specially corrugated tubing may be substituted for conventional tubing to the end that circuit runs may be shortened and lengthened as needed to reduce the number of different lengths required in respiratory circuits kits and to optimize the arrangement of the flow conduits in resperatory circuits.</p> |
