Infants (28) were anesthetized with halothane, N2O and O2 and allowed to breathe spontaneously through a non-rebreathing system during minor pediatric surgery. CO2 output was correlated negatively with body weight for infants > 10 kg, but not for children < 10 kg. CO2 output was unchanged compared with before surgery.
