We utilized selective carotid body (CB) perfusion while changing inspired O2 fraction in arterial isocapnia to characterize the non-CB chemoreceptor ventilatory response to changes in arterial PO2 (PaO2) in awake goats and to define the effect of varying levels of CB PO2 on this response. Systemic hyperoxia (PaO2 greater than 400 Torr) significantly increased inspired ventilation (VI) and tidal volume (VT) in goats during CB normoxia, and systemic hypoxia (PaO2 = 29 Torr) significantly increased VI and respiratory frequency in these goats. CB hypoxia (CB PO2 = 34 Torr) in systemic normoxia significantly increased VI, VT, and VT/TI; the ventilatory effects of CB hypoxia were not significantly altered by varying systemic PaO2. We conclude that ventilation is stimulated by systemic hypoxia and hyperoxia in CB normoxia and that this ventilatory response to changes in systemic O2 affects the CB O2 response in an additive manner.
