In order to avoid any air-pollution we have recently constructed a special airtight plastic box (Ventex) with fittings for the respirator and its manometer.

Anaesthesia and ventilation were maintained with oxygen or 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen supplemented by neuroleptanalgesia. The mean minute volume of ventilation was 84.
