ABSTRACT:
An integrated airway adapter capable of monitoring CO.sub.2 concentration in real time, breath by breath using infrared absorption techniques and monitoring respiratory flow with differential pressure flowmeters under diverse inlet conditions through improved sensor configurations which minimize phase lag and dead space within the airway adapter.
