Anaesthesia ventilation with the Kuhn system

If the machine does not have an external fresh gas outlet

The pressure indicated on the monitor is not identical
with the actual airway pressure. Reason: higher flow
resistance of the fresh gas hose in the Kuhn system.
The higher the fresh gas flow, the greater the difference.
