Respirator circuit

In an improved respirator circuit having first and second conduit tubes, in open connection respectively to first and second branches of a generally Y-shaped conduit tube portion including a leg portion for open connection to a conventional endotracheal tube, a respirator connected to an end of the first conduit tube, in which the improvement comprises:

• said first and second conduit tubes being of a cross-section having opposed planar lower side portions that are angled oppositely downwardly and inwardly toward drainage means connected thereto;
• the drainage means disposed at a lowermost point of and extending longitudinally along the bottom portions of the first and second conduit tubes, said drainage means being in fluid communication with said first and second conduit tubes through a plurality of perforations opening into the drainage means from the first and second conduit tubes;
• and
• means to dispose of moisture passing through said perforations into the drainage means from the first and second conduit tubes.
