title: Respiratory depression in goats by stable xenon: implications for CT studies.
abstract: The pharmacology of stable xenon is of practical importance to users of the xenon CT-regional cerebral blood flow method. In a study in goats we have demonstrated that xenon has a characteristic respiratory depressant effect, unlike effects of comparable anesthetic concentrations of nitrous oxide and halothane.
