Effect of Narcotics on Respiratory Physiology

متن کاملEffects of subnarcotic doses of ethylurethane on resistance to severe anoxia in rats.
About a decade ago Emerson et al. (1) reported the effect of narcotic agents, ethyl alcohol, amytal and pentobarbital on resistance to severe acute anoxic anoxia in mice. During our study (2) of adaptation of rats to a simulated high altitude of about 12km., it was observed that the rats administered with subnarcotic doses of ethylurethane (U) considerably tolerated to the same high altitude th...
