The importance of peripheral vasoconstriction in influencing body temperatures and the part played by certain environmental factors: the effect of inhaled gases.
Core and peripheral temperatures have been studied in 88 dogs of mixed breeds anaesthetized with pentobarbitone. Hyperventilation with cold, dry oxygen was associated with a decrease in peripheral temperature, whilst normoventilation was without effect.
