This protocol demonstrates a practical method to induce controlled hypercapnic hyperventilation using standard anesthesia equipment. The technique facilitates rapid emergence from volatile anesthesia by accelerating anesthetic washout via elevated CO₂ levels and enhanced ventilation, providing a feasible alternative when proprietary commercial systems are unavailable.
