Abstract
Improved connectors are disclosed for a Bain anesthesiology circuit. At the end remote from the patient, positive connections are made to the anesthesiology gas supply tube. The construction of the fitting for the exhaust is such as to apply a crank action, facilitating tight insertion of the fitting into an exhaust connector. At the patient end a positive locking connection is made to the endotracheal tube or the like, and a secure connection permitting a certain degree of turning without twisting of the inner tube is provided.
