title: Method for sampling airway gas.
abstract: We have devised an improved technique for sampling gas from endotracheal airways for mass spectrometer analysis. It is reliable and unobtrusive and is particularly resistant to occlusion of the sampling line by secrections. It has performed well during continuous monitoring of patients in a respiratory ICU.
