evaluation solely a5 a closed system anaesthetic vcntilator as which it was designed. In our conclusions we indicated that i t provided independcnt controls for Vr, ventilation frequency. 1 : E ratio arid PEEP and that i t would synchronise with the patient if spontaneous breathing occurred. The model we studied was, as far as we are aware, not intended for use as a CPAP device or in an SIMV mode. It is possible that Dr James' commcnts are rclcvant to claims by the manufacturers hut they do not reflect the content of our paper. Our view of this machine is that i t is an interesting new dcvclopmcnt for mechanical ventilation during closed system anaesthesia. The contribution of the frcsh gas flow (FGF) during thc measurement of tidal volume (V,) was taken into account. The airway pressures ivhich were measured with the F G F flowing during IPPV reflect the decrease in thc V , . Whcn the FGF was supplied in the tracheal tube the stroke volumc of the bellows had to be reduccd more than the contribution of the F G F during the inspiratory phase to maintain a relatively constant Pac'oz. I t was not considered csscntial to publish the details of this manoeuvre for the measurement of V l . This consisted of adjusting the peak airway volume of thc bellows whcn thc FGF was switched off. This was necessary for the measurement not only of the V, but also the end tidal CO, concentration. Refcrcnce to thc tlow pattern (Fig. 3 in our article) shows that the F G F would scavenge without C 0 2 mixing from alveolar gar during the Last part of the expiratory phase. At I2 brcathsiminutc with an 1 : E ratio of 1 :2, approximatcly 1-1.5 seconds would be expected for this period. The apparatus deadspace including the tracheal tube was approximatcly 80 ml; therefore, during periods of say I second, FGF at 4. 2 and 1 litres/minute can flush only approximately 67, 3 3 and 17 ml, respectively. It is a complex situation and thc cffcctivc contribution of F G F depends mainly on the pattern of the expiratory alveolar gas flow and its composition, thc apparatus dcadspacc volumc and the FCiF rate. There is a prirno .fizcie case that removal of thc tracheal tube deadspace by scavcnging with fresh gas will improve the efficiency of ventilation and hence require a smaller V , . Hou,ever. our study shows that at these vcn!ilation frcquencics, i.e. 12 brcaths/minutc. there is little advantage to be gained by complicating the system rather than supplying the fresh gas at the machine in a manner recommended by the manufacturers
