Carbon dioxide output was measured in 278 children aged between 1 day and 16 years, who were anaesthetised with thiopentone and nitrous oxide and ventilated mechanically following the injection of a non-depolarising neuro-muscular blocking agent. It is suggested that the results obtained form a clinically useful guide to the carbon dioxide output of anaesthetised children.
