In the course of a study on the carbon dioxide rebreathing characteristics of the Bain anaesthesia circuit, it was noted that raising the minute volume without changing the fresh gas inflow invariably led to increased rebreathing of expired gases. Altering tidal volume and rate in order to reproduce a given minute volume had the same effect on rebreathing. A nomogram constructed to quantitate increases in rebreathing in function of carbon dioxide production per minute, fresh gas flow from the anaesthesia machine, and minute volume is produced. It can be used to assess the amount of fresh gas flow necessary to mantain a steady and inspired gas composition.
