Abstract

Mathematical calculations were employed in an assessment of the resistances associated with a passive outward conveyance system for the removal of anesthetic gases and fumes from operating theatres. It was found that the magnitude of such resistances was not enough to interfere with the patient's respiratory dynamics.
