METHODSExperiments were performed on cats (2.7-4.3 kg) which had neuromuscular blockade(gallamine triethiodide or decamethonium chloride) and bilateral pneumothorax, and were artificially ventilated. After ether induction and initial surgery, the animals were maintained either: a) under ethyl carbamate(urethan) anesthesia(1.0-I. 25 g/kg, iv); or b) unanesthetized after midcollicular deccrebration. In decerebrate cats, further surgery was performed under a mixture of 50% NPO and 50% OS, to maintain analgesia. Before decerebration, the external rather than the common carotid arteries were tied in order to retain carotid baroreceptor discharge. The cats were artificially ventilated with 100% 02, and the ventilation was adjusted to give end-tidal CO2 values of 3.8-4.8%, as monitored by a rapid infrared CO? analyzer. Rectal temperatures were maintained between 36.5 and 38 C. In many cats 5% dextrose in physiologic saline was infused (100 ml/kg per 24 hr). The left greater splanchnic nerve was located in the costovertebral triangle, cut at its entrance into the celiac ganglion, and desheathed. The left phrenic nerve was located in the dorsolateral region of the neck, tied as far caudally as possible, and desheathed. Each nerve was irnmersed in a pool of mineral oil through which a 5% COZ-95% 02 mixture had been bubbled. All data were recorded on magnetic tape: I) Efferent splanchnic nerve activity was recorded monophasically (amplifier bandwidth 0.2-l, 000 cycles/set). The adequacy of reproduction of slow potential changes was shown in one experiment with dc recording, where no difference of waveform was found between the dc-and the RC-coupled signal. In some cases, the potentials were additionally filtered (for subsequent integration) by a high-pass circuit (time constant 5 msec). 2) kfferent phrenic nerve activity was recorded diphasically(bandwidth 80-10,000 cycles/set). The phrenic potentials were further processed through a leaky integrator circuit (time constant 0.1 set), to obtain a smoothed waveform(10). 3) The electrocardiogram (ECG) was continuously monitored from a pair of needles placed in the left forepaw and right hindpaw. 4) Arterial blood pressure was measured by a Statham P23Dd transducer through a femoral arterial catheter whose tip was located in the thoracic aorta.. 5) Tracheal pressure, which indicated the phases of artificial ventilation, was measured by a Statham P23BB transducer attached to a side arm in the closed ventilation system.
