The carbon dioxide content of respiratory gases may be monitored by the use of an infra-red carbon dioxide analyser. The technique allows continuous and non-invasive recording of important information concerning the ventilatory, circulatory and metabolic states of the anaesthetised horse. Some of the monitoring capabilities of a carbon dioxide analyser (capnograph) are reviewed with illustrations from cases anaesthetised in the authors' clinic. Technical faults in the anaesthetic apparatus and the connections with the "patient" could be readily detected and emergency situations immediately recognised and treated without delay. Use of the apparatus allowed refinement of the anaesthetic technique and greatly augmented the safety of general anaesthesia.
呼吸气体中的二氧化碳含量可通过使用红外二氧化碳分析仪进行监测。该技术能够连续且无创地记录有关麻醉马匹通气、循环和代谢状态的重要信息。本文结合作者诊所麻醉病例的实例，对二氧化碳分析仪（二氧化碳描记器）的一些监测功能进行了综述。麻醉设备及其与“患者”连接中的技术故障能够很容易被检测到，紧急情况也能立即被识别并得到及时处理。该设备的使用使麻醉技术得以优化，并大大提高了全身麻醉的安全性。
