Notes:
Summary Respiratory and circulatory disturbances during high spinal anesthesia were made the subject of an experimental study. The dominating role of respiratory disturbances results from the action of the anesthetic upon the peripheral conductors. Direct contact of the anesthetic with the medulla oblongata not only fails to induce bulbar paralysis, but acts as an excitant on the vasomotor center. The maintenance of respiratory functions by artificial respiration is of decisive significance for the outcome of the spinal anesthesia.
