Abstract To evaluate a compact and easily interpretable 4-parameter model describing the shape of the volumetric capnogram, and the resulting estimates of anatomical dead space (VDAW) and Phase III (alveolar plateau) slope (SIII). Data from of 8 mildly-endotoxemic pre-acute respiratory distress syndrome sheep were fitted to the proposed 4-parameter model (4p) and a previously established 7-parameter model (7p). Root mean square error (RMSE) and Akaike information criterion (AIC), as well as V DAW and SIII derived from each model were compared. Confidence intervals for model’s parameters, V DAW and SIII were estimated with a jackknife approach. RMSE values were similar (4p: 1.13 ± 0.01 mmHg vs 7p: 1.14 ± 0.01 mmHg) in the 791 breath cycles tested. However, the 7p overfitted the curve and had worse AIC in more than 50% of the cycles (p
