The patients were severely paralysed by poliomyelitis. Each received artificial ventilation from a Radcliffe respiration pump (Russell, Schuster, Smith & Spalding, 1956) through a cuffed tracheotomy tube (Spalding & Smith, 1956) which provided an air-tight seal in the trachea. The expired tidal volume was measured over 10 breaths at room temperature with a Parkinson & Cowan type CD gas-meter. The respiratory frequency was 16 per minute. End-tidal samples were obtained by a mechanical sampler (Smith, Schuster & Spalding, 1959) and p0C2 was determined by a continuous flow-bridge analyser (Cunningham, Cormack, O'Riordan, Jukes & Lloyd, 1957). The end-tidal pCO2 was raised by adding CO. to the inspired air, and the tidal volume was altered by varying the inspiratory pressure. The controls for making these changes were hidden from the patient. Throughout the examination the patient was asked to report any unusual sensations. Shortness of breath was the sensation in which we were particularly interested, but questions about this were specifically avoided.
