ADAPTATION OF DOGS TO 60 AND 90 mm. Hg CO2 AT A TOTAL PRESSURE OF 260 mm. Hg.

Abstract

Two groups of 6 dogs were exposed continuously for 9 days to an environment having a total barometric pressure of 260 mm. Hg, a partial pressure of 140 mm. Hg O2, and either 60 or 90 mm. Hg CO2. Arterial samples were collected daily from a previously exteriorized carotid artery. Data from the present experiment were compared with those of previous researchers working with chronic hypercapnic dogs at ground-level pressure. (Author)
