    AbstractWe report the in vitro longevity of a conventional soda lime carbon dioxide absorbent and an absorbent free from strong alkali (Amsorb). Although the times taken to breakthrough of carbon dioxide (> 0.5%) within an in vitro low flow breathing system were shorter with the alkali-free absorbent, we found that the size and shape of the absorbent container was the major factor in determining the efficiency of the carbon dioxide absorbents.
