This article should be expanded to discuss the types of circuits, but I don't expect it to be a huge article - bigger than a stub though of course. I will try to provide pictures tonight. Pulmonological (talk) 23:38, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Generic term, not restricted to medical use
A breathing circuit is an essential part of any closed or semi-closed circuit breathing apparatus. Some are used for medical purposes, others are not (diving, emergency, and industrial rebreathers, space suits, etc.). This title should be either a disambiguation or a summary of the various types of breathing circuit that exist. This article is about medical breathing circuits, which are parts of medical breathing apparatus, often anesthesia machines, and generally where either gas use must be economised, or there is a contamination hazard to avoid.
