Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a gas measuring apparatus and method based on infrared absorption and for measuring the CO2 content in respiratory gas. A method of continually measuring the content of CO2 in respiratory gas, wherein a detector is irradiated by an infrared source via a cyclical respiratory gas flow. Measurement values are continually derived from said detector for both the inhalation and the exhalation phases under the control of respiratory phase detecting means, and these values are divided one by another in calculating means to give a resultant indicating approximately the CO2 content.
