The evolution of heat and moisture in the large modern absorbers have been investigated both in the laboratory and in the operating room, using the semi-closed circle. Our results suggest the following conclusions: The present investigation demonstrates that the inspired gas mixture carries a relatively constant water vapour averaging 80 per cent relative humidity at 24° C. as it leaves the soda-lime canister. Studies currently in progress will evaluate the physiology of the respiratory mucous membranes when exposed to the gas issuing from the large carbon dioxide absorbers.
