4a.3.12 Breathing
System Leak Test
You can estimate how much of a leak there is in the ventilator portion of the
breathing system by closing the patient circuit, inflating the bellows, and
observing how quickly they fall on their own weight (part of the machine
checkout procedure).
The Breathing System Leak Test allows you to more precisely test the
ventilator portion of the breathing circuit for leaks.
By using the patient circuit to establish a closed loop, you can measure the
leak rate.
• The leak rate is the fresh gas flow needed to maintain 30 cmH2O.
• The system should have a leak rate <200 mL/min.
