Abstract
The cochlear blood flow was measured with the microsphere methods, before and during CO2-inhalation, in anesthetized rabbits. Different gas mixtures and exposure times were used. The greatest increase of cochlear blood flow was measured after 5 min inhalation of 7% CO2 in air (115%) and the least increase (44%) in animals breathing 7% CO2 in oxygen. The difference is explained as due to a vasoconstriction caused by a high oxygen tension counteracting the vasodilating effect of CO2.Entities:
