Abstract
An anesthesia circuit stand is able to support an anesthesia circuit fitting, when not attached to a patient or to a patient airway securement device in such a manner that anesthesia vapor and nitrous oxide is prevented from escaping into the environment of an operating room. The stand includes a base portion to which is connected a stalk element. The stalk can be substantially in the form of a cone having a proximal end with a greater diameter than a distal end. Alternatively, the stalk can be in the shape of a generally cylindrical rod. A distal end of the stalk includes a plug portion which has a diameter sufficient to engage the inner diameter of an outlet orifice of an anesthesia circuit elbow in a frictional fit.
