Highlights carotid chemoreceptor CO2 sensitivity in dogs; leaves open translation to human ventilatory control.
Does transient perfusion of carotid chemoreceptors with varying blood gas compositions alter minute ventilation in anesthetized dogs?
The study demonstrates the high sensitivity of carotid chemoreceptors to small changes in Pco2 and their significant role in ventilatory drive during hypoxia in a canine model.
Fitzgerald et al. (1964) studied this question.
