ACIDOSIS 93 



(1920) on etherized dogs also point to uncompensated acidosis. Reimann, 

 Bloom, and Reimann (1921) were unable clinically to confirm Henderson, 

 Haggard, and Coburn's favorable therapeutic results with CO 2 adminis- 

 tration and believe that on the contrary bicarbonate should be given when 

 the plasma CO 2 capacity, as determined by Van Slyke and Cullen (1917), 

 falls below normal. 



More clinical and experimental data are obviously required before 

 definite conclusions can be drawn concerning the effects of anesthesia on 

 the acid-base balance, or concerning the treatment indicated.
