Hypoxia, an adjunct in helium-cold hypothermia - Sparing effect on hepatic and cardiac metabolites.Investigation of the effect of hypoxia on the depletion of metabolites that occurs in helium-aided induction of hypothermia. Hypoxic slowing of the heart of a hamster while exposed to cold helox is demonstrated. An attempt is made to evaluate the relative importance of cardiac slowing and limitation of thermogenesis in determining the effect of hypoxia. In explanation of the results presented, it is suggested that hypoxia limits the energy expenditure by the heart during induction.
