Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a double-circuit ventilator,the primary power source generates a gas flow that compresses a mechanism such as a bellows or "bag-in-a-chamber." The gas in the bellows or bag then flows to the patient.In a single-circuit ventilator,the primary power source travels directly to the patient.The closed and open loop refer to whether or not the ventilator has a feedback loop system.
