Abstract
Amytal, nembutal, luminal, "Dial-Ciba" and urethane in narcotic doses have a decided effect on the acid-base equilibrium and produce a definite acidosis. The effects of amytal, nembutal and luminal on the blood constituents studied may be grouped together. With the exception of its effect on pH "Dial-Ciba" with its barbituric acid and urethane components has a different action. The effect on CO2 content is the result of both its components while the urethane action predominates on the other blood constituents.
The change in O2 and CO2 content and capacity and blood sugar are given in table 4 together with possible causes for these changes.
