Abstract
Four portable carbon dioxide monitors were assessed by a mobile intens ive therapy team during interhospital transfer of critically ill patie nts. Particular attention was paid to practical considerations such as size, battery life and ease of use. All the monitors performed well i n terms of accuracy but problems with size and battery life made some less suitable for use outside hospital.
