Changes in Dogsâ the Department of Physiology, HEATH2 AND E. B. BROWN, JR. From of Minnesota, ikfinnea~dis, Minnesota sufficient to produce symptoms ofr carbon aloxrae mtoxication occurred in many submarines during the Second World War (I). When personnel recommenced breathing fresh air after breathing air containing increased concentrations of COZ, various symptoms including nausea, vomiting, headache and fainting followed. Earlier Itami (2) had noted that ventricular fibrillation occurred in cats and dogs, and Goldstein and DuBois (3) observed hypotension in humans following cessation of CO2 breathing. Human deaths have been attributed to such posthypercapnic phenomena, as in the British submarine âThetisâ disaster (4), and following routine surgical anesthesia and later Buckley and cow Dripps (6), workers (s), established hypercapnia as the probable cause of âcyclopropane shock.â Miller and Brown showed in a series of paper (7-10) that in dogs a rapid return to air or oxygen following breathing of high CO2 mixtures for periods of 2-4 hours, regularly led to a marked reduction in arterial pressure and severe alterations in the electrocardiogram, with ventricular fibrillation and death occurring in a high percentage of the cases. The only measures which they found to be effective in preventing these abnormalities
