title: Studies on the anesthetic mechanism of carbon dioxide by using Bombyx mori larvae.
abstract: The study of heartbeat variations of Bombyx mori larvae submitted to CO2 narcosis has provided new information on carbon dioxide anesthesia. Purely anoxiant action must be dismissed. Action at a nerve level is possible since CO2 produces the same effect as ether, which is a classical anesthetic.
