title: Continuous monitoring of respiratory flow and CO(2):challenges of on-airway measurements.
abstract: In this article, the challenges of simultaneous respiratory gas concentration and flow measurements in a breathing circuit are reviewed. The tradeoffs that were considered in the development of a clinically useful on-airway combination CO(2)/flow sensor are discussed as well as the applications enabled by this on-airway combination CO(2)/flow sensor.
