PULMONARY LESIONS IN GUINEA PIGS WITH INCREASED INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE, AND THE EFFECT OF BILATERAL CERVICAL VAGOTOMY

Abstract
Pulmonary edema, congestion and hemorrhage plus abnormally high lung wt./body wt. and lung wt./ventricle wt. ratios were found in 12 of 24 guinea pigs subjected to increased intracranial pressure. Bilateral cervical vagotomy exerted a marked protective effect against pulmonary lesions subsequent to elevation in intracranial tension.
