    摘要: A connector piece for connecting breathing tubes of an anaesthetic breathing circuit to an endotracheal tube for use with a mammal. The connector piece having a gallery from which radiate first, second and third tube connectors. The first tube connector disposed between the second and third tube connectors. The first, second and third tube connectors having respective first, second and third longitudinal axes. The first and second tube connectors for connection to respective first and second the breathing tubes. The third tube connector for connection to the endotracheal tube. The third tube connector disposed at an obtuse angle to the first tube connector with the third longitudinal axis intersecting the first longitudinal axis within the gallery, and the second tube connector disposed at an acute angle to the first tube connector, with the second longitudinal axis intersecting said first longitudinal axis outside of the connector piece.

    摘要: The present teachings generally include parabiotic dialysis systems and techniques. For example, the present disclosure includes parabiotic liver dialysis, e.g., for use in settings with limited resources. To this end, a parabiotic liver dialysis system may include a device having a semipermeable membrane with an average pore size that allows for the passage of albumin therethrough. In such a system, a first extracorporeal circuit may connect the device to the vascular system of a first animal (e.g., a liver patient), and a second extracorporeal circuit may connect the device to the vascular system of a second animal (e.g., a human with normal liver function), where the exchange of albumin therebetween is facilitated through the device. The present disclosure also includes various safety measures for parabiotic dialysis systems and techniques, such as biometric verification systems and techniques.
