Technician Sally needs to use an anesthesia ventilator for one of her patients. Where does Sally connect the ventilator into the breathing system?
  1. Between the endotracheal tube and the breathing circuit
  2. At the rebreathing bag port
  3. Between the inhalation port and the breathing circuit
  4. Between the exhalation port and the breathing circuit
Explanation
Answer: B - The ventilator is directly connected to the anesthesia machine, replacing the rebreathing bag with the bellows. The pop off valve on the anesthesia machine needs to be closed when using a ventilator to prevent loss of gas from the bellows. The ventilator is equipped with its own safety pop off valve.
