[Respiratory and circulatory regulation during microembolism of the pulmonary vessels]

In the studies on cats anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg i.p.) respiration, circulation and microcirculation of lungs were studied under conditions of fat (olive oil) and mechanical (Lycopodium spores) pulmonary embolism. It was stated, that fat and mechanical microembolisms are different in pattern, intensity, the speed of the development, and also in final result.
