Abstract: There is provided a respiratory gas delivery and sampling system, a gas sampling system, a gas sampling interface and a gas sampling tip that may be used to sample exhaled and/or expired gases from a patient, particularly from a patient who is apnoeic and/or who is receiving high flow respiratory therapy. The gas sampling system comprises a respiratory gas monitor in fluid communication with the gas sampling interface, which comprises the gas sampling tip of the invention. The gas sampling interface comprises a gas sampling conduit and the gas sampling tip is located at a free end of the conduit. The gas sampling interface may be configured to allow the gas sampling tip to be selectively positioned at or in the mouth or a nare of the patient's nose.
