For example,at 50 half of the air is saturated with the anesthetic and at 100 the entire air stream is be-coming saturated. The intratracheal tube is connected to the apparatus, by a length ofrubber tubing, after it has been introduced the proper distance into the trachea. If thecatheter is too small the return current is so rapid that the anesthetic is not absorbedproperly, consequently the anesthesia is too light. If the catheter is too large it offers too THE THORAX 449 much obstruction to the return current, causing the intratracheal pressure to become toohigh, approaching that registered by the manometer. When the catheter has been properlyintroduced, the specially designed clamp is slipped over it to hold it in place and prevent itsdisplacement should the patient cough. It also has projections to prevent its being closedat any time by
