Abstract

Xenon is an anaesthetic and possibly neuroprotective gas that is impossible to measure using conventional anaesthetic gas analysers. We compared the performance of two commissioned xenon analysers using ultrasonic and thermal conductivity principles against a reference method of laser refractometry....
