Abstract

Determinations of the viscosity of the “living” blood were made during deep and light ether and chloroform narcosis. It was found that the viscosity is increased by deep and lessened during light narcosis. The specific gravity of the blood also shows regular variations. It is increased by deep and lessened by light ether narcosis. Chloroform, on the other hand, produces a slight decrease during deep and an increase during light narcosis. Hence the specific gravity cannot be regarded as an accurate index of the viscosity.
