Claim:
1. A method for controlling a capacity of a carbon dioxide remover in an anesthesia breathing system, said method comprising: determining in a processing unit exhaled breathing gas flow volume of a subject in said anesthesia breathing system; determining in said processing unit exhaled gas flow volume removed from said anesthesia breathing system; determining in said processing unit carbon dioxide concentration exhaled by the subject; calculating in said processing unit a data indicative of a volume of carbon dioxide removed by said carbon dioxide remover from a breathing gas flow based on said determined exhaled breathing gas flow volume, said determined exhaled gas flow volume removed from the breathing system and said determined carbon dioxide concentration; storing in a memory unit said calculated data indicative of the volume of carbon dioxide removed by said carbon dioxide remover; and comparing in said processing unit said stored calculated data with information indicative of carbon dioxide removing capacity of said carbon dioxide remover.
