Respiratory response to forward acceleration compared with chest compression in dogs

Fred W. Zechman 1 and Justin Taylor 1

1 Acceleration Section, Biophysics Branch, Aerospace Medical Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Six mongrel dogs were studied to determine if the increases in frequency of breathing characteristic of both chest compression and forward acceleration are initiated by the same vagal reflex. Since vagal section only abolished the response to chest compression, it is assumed that some other mechanism is primarily responsible for the rate increase characteristic of forward acceleration. Experiments are also described which suggest that the increased respiratory frequency may be attributed to a hypoxic drive.
