Rebreathing<br />
Expired alveolar gas (containing 5% carbon dioxide) is<br />
inspired as part of the next tidal volume<br />
Anaesthetic circuits are designed to minimize this occurring<br />
as it may lead to serious elevations in blood CO 2 levels:<br />
By<br />
– ensuring an adequate flow of fresh gas which flushes the circuit<br />

or<br />
– in the case of a circle system by the use of sodalime which absorbs<br />
the CO 2
