Two Leeds doctors—Dr. W. S. Sykes and Dr. Reginald C. Lawrence—reporting their experiments with a mixture of helium and oxygen for use in the case of patients with respiratory difficulties, and in the prevention of post-operative collapse, write: "As no patients with respiratory difficulties were available, personal experiments were carried out with artificial obstructions. We tried to obtain many readings in one evening and very soon found that the fatigue caused by semi-strangulation produced increasingly rapid intolerance to a repetition of the process." The semi-strangulation" was created by fitting a rubber mouthpiece with a screw clamp which was "tightened until considerable constriction was caused."
The conclusion reached is that an artificial atmosphere of helium and oxygen is about twice as easy to breathe as ordinary air, and the mixture should be of great value in cases of respiratory obstruction or in cases in which it is essential to economise muscular effort. It also has value in preventing post-operative collapse.
