An open circuit technique, incorporating a paramagnetic oxygen analyser, for the measurement of oxygen consumption is described. The characteristics of the oxygen analyser were examined. Known oxygen consumptions obtained by a 'nitrogen dilution' technique were used and the accuracy of the technique determined. The method was also compared with a conventional method of measuring oxygen consumption using the collection and analysis of expired air.
