ResumoIntroduction. Methods. Results: The mechanical changes in respiration. The minute volume of respiration. The respiratory gas exchange. The carbon dioxid content of the blood. The acid-base equilibrium of the blood. Clinical Correlation and Comment. Conclusions. I. INTRODUCTION Pneumothorax, opening externally in the form of the "sucking" chest wound of warfare, or as the result of operations on the chest, especially for empyema, is of fairly frequent occurrence and of very serious import. I have been unable to find in the literature much serious study of the functional changes which lead to the frequently fatal outcome. Therefore, further observations seemed appropriate. The present report deals with experimental pneumothorax in the rabbit. The features especially considered are the volume of air respired per minute; the respiratory exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxid and their relation, the respiratory quotient; the total carbon dioxid
