  • Title: Relationship between pulmonary embolism, airway obstruction and hypersensitivity of the airways in dogs: influence of partial vagus nerve blockade.
    Author: Islam MS, Zimmermann I, Ulmer WT.
    Journal: Respiration; 1977; 34(2):105-12. PubMed ID: 882720.
    Abstract:
    Experiments in dogs showed an increase in deltaPoes/100 ml TV after embolization which returns to normal after blocking the vagus nerves, indicating an increase in airway resistance. A marked sensitization to ACh inhalation by embolism with both blood clots and glass beads was demonstrated. This hypersensitivity is vagus-dependent.
