The study of heartbeat variations of Bombyx mori larvae submitted to CO2 narcosis has provided new information on carbon dioxide anesthesia. Purely anoxiant action must be dismissed. Action at a nerve level is possible since CO2 produces the same effect as ether, which is a classical anesthetic.
Ether vapors affect heartbeat. An acceleration of heartbeat precedes the cardiac arrest observed in about five minutes. During recovery the heartbeat increases to a value above that seen before anesthesia and then returns to normal.
