Experimental Researches in Artificial Respiration

Artificial Respiration

lowering the arms gave still less favourable results. Howard's direct method of alternately compressing the lower chest wall by the spread hands and letting go sharply was found to cause a much larger air entry, but still below the normal; but it is conducted in the supine attitude which, in many cases, as in drowning, prevent other useful indications from being fulfilled and is sometimes subje...

Comparative Studies on Respiration

The respiration of Chlorella is diminished by exposure to hypertonic salt solutions. After a short exposure there is complete recovery when the algae are removed to the normal medium. After a longer exposure recovery may be incomplete, as shown by the fact that the rate of respiration fails to rise to the normal level. Staining with methylene blue indicates that few, if any, of the cells are ki...

Comparative Studies on Respiration

1. In the presence of 0.05 per cent dextrose the respiration of Aspergillus niger is increased by NaCl in concentrations of 0.25 to 0.5M, and by 0.5M CaCl(2). 2. Stronger concentrations, as 2M NaCl and 1.25M CaCl(2), decrease the respiration. The decrease in the higher concentrations is probably an osmotic effect of these salts. 3. A mixture of 19 cc. of NaCl and 1 cc. of CaCl(2) (both 0.5M) sh...

Comparative Studies on Respiration

1. In relatively low concentrations of NaCl, KCl, and CaCl(2) the rate of respiration of Bacillus subtilis remains fairly constant for a period of several hours, while in the higher concentrations, there is a gradual decrease in the rate. 2. NaCl and KCl increase the rate of respiration of Bacillus subtilis somewhat at concentrations of 0.15 M and 0.2 M respectively; in sufficiently high concen...
