AbstractWe used three methods to determine the onset of rebreathing in the Ohmeda enclosed afferent reservoir breathing system and compared the results with the previously published rebreathing characteristics of this system. Of the methods studied, expiratory limb capnography proved unsuitable for determining the onset of rebreathing in this system. Inspiratory limb capnography and minimum inspired carbon dioxide at the mouth did enable the onset of rebreathing to be determined. However the fresh gas flow:minute volume ratio at which rebreathing occurred as determined by these criteria was less than that determined by the Kain and Nunn criteria and thus offer no clinical advantage over the latter.
