Abstract

Anesthesia breathing circuit mechanics influence respiratory monitoring. Even when the magnitude of these effects is small, their presence may cause confusion and misinterpretation of information. Understanding the interactions between circuit mechanics and monitoring is critical in the design of new circuits and monitoring equipment, and important in their clinical use.
