The invention relates to a regenerative absorber device (20) for the removal of CO2 from expiration gases during anesthesia. The device comprises a container (38) having an inlet (39) for said expiration gases, and an outlet (41) for output gases, the CO2 content of which having been substantially removed therefrom. The device is provided with an ion exchanger (42) having the capability to absorb CO2, disposed in said container (38) such that the gases flow through said ion exchanger from said inlet (39) to said outlet (41). A novel method of anesthesia comprises use of a CO2 absorber device according to the invention. |
