  Purpose

The anesthesia gas reflector (AnaConDa) is built on the adsorptive capacity of active carbon which also adsorbs carbon dioxide in exhaled air. Rebreathing of carbon dioxide thus occurs and must be compensated for by increased ventilation. This study aims at determining how much compensation must be given, based on the hypothesis that rebreathing depends on carbon dioxide level in blood and exhaled air.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Quantification of ventilation requirements with the use of the AnaConDa rebreathing system for anesthetic gases [ Time Frame: 1 hour ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Changes to tidal volume required to maintain constant alveolar ventilation will be assessed by continuous measurement of exhaled tidal carbon dioxide volume, the latter to be maintained at a constant value.
