Abstract
A method is described for measuring metabolic gas exchange during general anaesthesia using a respiratory mass spectrometer, a mixing box and two inert tracer gases. Measurement of inspired and expired minute volume is possible to within 2%; oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide output and respiratory quotient can be measured to within 10%.Entities:
