Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for sensing inhalational anesthetic agents. A flow sensor is positioned in fluid communication with an anesthesia breathing circuit and is used to produce a measurement signal indicative of the concentration of a gaseous anesthetic agent within the breathing circuit. Optionally, a reflector assembly can be provided to capture gaseous anesthetic agent that exits the breathing circuit and to return the captured anesthetic agent to the breathing circuit.
