Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Respiratory Changes of the Intrathoracic Pressure, Measured in the Mediastinum Posterior
It is this method and some results I obtained by it I intend to report here.
With a single exception my experiments were made on rabbits, the results therefore are so far restricted to this class of animals only. The single experiment I made on a young dog, however, convinced me that the method will be practicable in these animals also, and that the results will probably not differ materially. All the animals have been narcotized with chloral. This offers the advantage that the breathing continues regularly and is less frequent. I wish to emphasize, however, that the introduction of the katheter into the mediastinum does not alter the respiration even in the absence of narcosis. The procedure is simple, though I lost many an experiment before settling it.
