Abstract We studied the effects of acute hypoxia on hemodynamics and respiration in cats. The animals were divided into high-, low- and medium-resistant to hypoxia by the time of respiratory arrest after breathing with 3% O2 gas mixture. In high-resistant animals, hemodynamic indices remained at a high level throughout the hypoxic episode, while in low-resistant cats they decreased shortly after the onset of hypoxia. It is suggested that the peculiarities of hemodynamic regulation play an important role in individual resistance to acute hypoxia.
