THE CARDIO-RESPIRATORY EVENTS IN FATAL ANOXIA.
Abstract
The reactions to three types of anoxia were scrutinized: (1) anoxia caused by breathing nitrogen gas, (2) anoxia caused by breathing mixtures of gases low in oxygen and high in nitrogen, and (3) anoxia caused by exposure to reduced atmospheric pressures. In order to obtain some understanding of species variations in these reactions, two species - dog and guinea-pig-have been examined. The data collected on the guinea-pig paralleling the data reported here, is the subject of another report. (Author)
