Abstract

Summary: In rabbits which were ventilated mechanically, with a background anaesthetic of pento-barbitone or after decerebration, ketamine depressed preganglionic sympathetic activity and arterial pressure. Conduction through central baroreceptor pathways, tested by depressor nerve stimulation, showed a selective inhibition of the heart rate response. © 1975 Macmillan Journals Ltd.
