A method and device for monitoring breathing during anaesthesia effected by supplying an air/gas mixture through a pipeline to a subject, wherein an elbow fitting (10) is connected in the pipeline, said fitting carrying a probe (18) locating at the axial centre of the elbow a temperature sensitive, current carrying element (28) which forms a semiconductor junction in an electrical defection circuit which responds to change in the electrical characteristics of the junction to produce an output signal having a magnitude which varies in sympathy with temperature variations at said junction. <IMAGE> |
