Values of components of total carbon dioxide excreted by a subject can be provided. One or more signals may be received conveying information related to a rate of total carbon dioxide excreted by the subject. Based at least in part on the received one or more signals, a first capnometric component and/or a second capnometric component may be determined. The first capnometric component may indicate a rate of metabolic carbon dioxide production. The second capnometric component may indicate a rate of carbon dioxide transfer to or from body compartments of the subject that store carbon dioxide. The first capnometric component and/or the second capnometric component may be presented to a user.
