The effect of C02 on bronchial resistance has been studied on guinea-pigs, by measuring the espired air under the action of histamine.
It has been observed that CO, has a very little effect in such experimental conditions and the only change appreciated is an increase of the espired air volume. The inhalation of CO, enhances the effect of histamina if inyected immediately after, and diminishes sensibility to histamine during several minutes after its inhalation.
In the experiences carried out on dogs and cats the action of C02 showed a biphasic course: firstly there is an increase of the pulmonary compliance and resistance and in a second phase compliance is diminished.
