title: [Thermal tachypnea in pigs].
abstract: In anaesthetised and tracheotomised pig, the reflex of panting has been evaluated. The thermal tachypnea showed two phases: initially respiratory frequency increases likely to body temperature but at 41,4 degrees C is observed apnea. When temperature rose above 42 degrees C the respiratory frequency further increased the changes in blood CO2, O2 and pH were not significant. During apnea is present a slight alkalosis.
