Paul Bert in his classical researches published in La Pression Barometrique(l) found that death occurred in a closed space, the oxygen supply being ample, when the partial pressuire of CO2 rose to 30 /0 in the case of mammals, to 24-28 0/0 in the case of birds, to 131-17 0/0 in that of reptiles. Bert also determined that the percentage volume of C02, during the respiration of air containing 30-40 0/0, might rise to 120 in venous blood, to 116 in arterial, and to 40 in the tissue fluids; 10-15 being the niormal amount in the last (dog). When the arterial blood contained as much as 80-90 0/0 the animal was comiipletely anmesthetic, the blood-pressure high, the heart beat frequent, but life was not endangered. The animal quickly recovered on breathing air, consciousness being speedily regained. This anaesthetic effect of carbon dioxide has been confirmed by several workers, and its employment in combination with oxygen as a useful anaesthetic has been advocated (Grehant, Benedicenti, etc.). As is well known pure CO2 is an irrespirable gas, and like other irrespirable gases, such as the halogens and their H compounds, and ammonia, etc., it produces spasin of the glottis. The spasm is a reflex effect (the Holmgren-Kratschmer reflex) depending upon the excitation of the nasal mucous membrane and upon the integrity of the fifth nerve. Kratschmer showed that, after section of both fifth nerves, the closure of the glottis no longer occurred when these gases were inhaled or blown into the nose.
