    AbstractGenerally the oxygram and the capnogram are mirror images of each other. We report a situation where a leak in the sample line produced a typical tails-up capnogram that was not accompanied by a mirror image oxygram. Air entrainment through the breach led to dilution of the gases on their way to the analyzer. The result was an oxygram resembling a series of mountain peaks.
