https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/28736/rebreathing-bag-cleaning Hi all, currently involved in sorting some protocols for a practice I&#39;m fairly new to. One of the things which has us all a bit flummoxed is cleaning the rebreathing bags on anaesthetic circuits? Does anyone do this? Big worries from other staffen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/161296?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 24 Aug 2015 17:52:55 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c7a45cdc-87a7-456c-a5cb-b02ad80cf3d6Nick Shackleton <p>I tend to agree if an infectious patient the circuit is binned. Depending which on has been used. You can now buy disposable cirole circuits. As sal suggests this should be chargeable to the client. Tubes should be cleaned on a regular basis&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/161081?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Aug 2015 20:22:44 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:7574d26b-eeb2-44e5-b047-a576ec451238Sal the 1st<p>to use you example of a kc dog</p> <p>disposable circuit which is then charged to client - that was what we did at one place I worked. Known infectious patients always got a circuit that wouldn&#39;t be used again.</p> <p>Have seen &nbsp;black rubber reservoir bags that have been dried flat and then damaged when people try to &#39;unpeel&#39; the stuck bits in the past. If they haven&#39;t been stored too long this way you can sometimes salvage them by soaking them again and peeling them apart while they are wet but yes you stand a good chance of &nbsp;splitting them or perishing them around the connecting ring.</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
