The peculiarities and conditions of optimal gas exchange for arresting hypoxia during prolonged (3 hours) apnoea or bradypnoea were experimentally studied in 34 dogs, using the method of apnoea oxygenation and extrapulmonary membrane removal of CO2 on "Sever" membrane gas-exchanger. It was shown that successful arrest of severe ventilation disorders of respiration by this method depends on precise registration and skillful use of the factors influencing oxygenation and CO2 removal in membrane gas-exchanger connected with peripheral arteriovenous or venovenous shunts.
