Brilliant - thanks everyone! The one I have previously used is this style, and attached by the common gas outlet. I will look into all your suggestions :)

I know its not a manometer as such, but we have spirometry on our multi parameter, when you do IPPV you get the tidal volume in and out and the peak inspiratory pressure you reached, you can then be really careful to deliver the right sized breaths without too high pressures and keep your ETCO2 within normal range. Most nurses get a fright when they first use it as the vast majority over estimate the amount of pressure they need to apply to the bag to give an appropriate breath (I certainly did!) The monitors are the Datex S5, second hand from human healthcare usually and very reasonable price wise, also super reliable.

Hi, we have a digital one which is really accurate but you get a slight delay. We use if specifically for tracheal stent procedures. I bought it from south west medical Hope this helps?
