This is physically the same as a reservoir bag, both being used in anaesthesia. Typical size is 2 litres. The usual function of the rebreathing bag is to act as a reservoir for the expired (and then rebreathed) gases in a rebreathing circuit or to be the instrument for propelling gases into the lungs during assisted ventilation. They are usually made in black antistatic rubber with a wide bore connector at the top.
