Central and peripheral blood flow of denitrogenated dogs, measured in the femoral artery and aorta, declined rapidly and ceased within mean times of 28, 35, 70, or 90 s after 1-, 10-, 30-, or 60-s decompressions from 258 Torr to 2 Torr, respectively. Neither arterial nor venous hypoxemia was seen af...
