If a technician were asked to anesthetize a 6kg canine patient, which breathing circuit should be used?
  1. Rebreathing circuit
  2. Nonrebreathing circuit
  3. Partial rebreathing system
  4. Circle system
Explanation
Answer: B - If a technician were asked to anesthetize a 6kg canine patient, a nonrebreathing circuit should be used. These circuits do not resist air movement, so they minimize the amount of work required for the patient to breathe. Nonrebreathing circuits are recommended for patients under 7kg in body weight.
