Abstract
SummaryA closed circuit with a CO, filter, 95 % O2, (approximately) and minute CO concentrations were used for rebreathing experiments in a group of healthy individuals. The CO concentrations appearing in the system were attributable to either endogenous formation of CO or tobacco smoking. The CO concentration in the system was found t o vary with the position of the subject. Less CO accumulated in the system when the subject stood than when he sat or lay in the supine position.A hypothesis was proposed concerning the nature of the equilibrium between CO in the alveolar spaces and the COHb concentration of the blood.
