An easily assembled and inexpensive apparatus for continuous monitoring of expired carbon dioxide concentrations in artificially ventilated animals.
An inexpensive and simple apparatus for monitoring expired carbon dioxide concentrations in artificially ventilated animal preparations is described. The system may be rapidly and easily constructed using a standard recording pH electrometer and a commercially available Pco2 electrode. This assembly has been proven to be an effective and sensitive means of monitoring CO2 levels, detecting changes in this gas within one-half percentage.
