with face masks to measure pulmonary ventilation and arterial catheters to analyze blood
gases. Two series of experiments were performed. Expt. 1: The fourth cerebral ventricle was
perfused with solutions of mock CSF, adjusted to stepwise decreasing pH values.
Concomitant perfusion-induced increases of pulmonary ventilation, pHa and Pa O 2 were
measured. Expt. 2: Inspiration of hypercapnic gas mixtures was applied to stimulate both …
