title: [Capnometry].
abstract: Technological advances during recent years and developments in anaesthesiology and intensive care have increased the interest in capnometry (measuring the CO2 content in the respiratory air). The physiological background and the principles of the method are presented. The applicability in clinical work and the limits of the method are presented and discussed.
