Abstract
These experiments were planned with three main objectives. Firstly to look for a reproducible specific effect of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) on ventilation and the pattern of breathing, when distortion of the brain stem was avoided; secondly to investigate the possibility that the ventilatory response to CO2 might alter during raised ICP before other effects on breathing; thirdly to see whether changes in arterial blood gases were consistent with neural effects on pulmonary gas exchange (1, 2, 3).
Supported by a grant to SJ from the Scottish Hospital Endowments Research Trust.
