Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - The absorption of carbon dioxide is mandatory in closed and semi-closed circle breathing systems. The elimination of CO2 from exhaled gases is achieved through chemical neutralization in transparent canisters containing absorbent granules. The ideal CO2 absorbent should have high efficiency, low airflow resistance, no toxicity or reactions with inhalation anesthetics, and low cost. Effective carbon dioxide absorption prevents CO2 rebreathing and the development of hypercapnia.
