    Abstract:
    A study was undertaken on dogs to find the limit of carbon dioxide exchange with high frequency jet ventilation using a fluidic logic controlled oxygen jet ventilator. Fifteen dogs were ventilated through a transtracheal catheter at respiratory rates up to 600 per minute. The following were recorded: aortic, pulmonary artery, pulmonary arterial wedge, and central venous blood pressures; intratracheal pressure, electrocardiogram; inspiratory and expiratory time of the jet; arterial and central venous blood gases; intermittent cardiac output. Normal gas exchange was found up to a respiratory rate of 400 per minute with low tidal volume and low intratracheal pressures. There were no adverse circulatory effects up to a rate of 400 per minute. At rates of 500 and 600 per minute, cardiac contractility was unaffected, but a decreased heart rate and increased peripheral resistance produced a fall in cardiac output. There was no interference with the resumption of spontaneous ventilation during weaning. In a control series of five dogs, apnoeic oxygenation was used. The PaCO2 was allowed to reach 15.96 kPa (120 torr). High frequency jet ventilation was then started at a rate of 600 per minute and decreased in increments to 100 per minute. Arterial blood gases were continuously recorded through an intra-arterial catheter connected to a mass spectrometer. The PaCO2 gradually declined to normal levels as the rate decreased.
