## Summary

Reaching the blood stream by absorption from the lung alveoli, the drug enters into loose combination with the red blood corpuscles; a small proportion only is carried in the plasma. Within the corpuscles it must of necessity displace a certain proportion of the oxygen normally carried: this factor is of great importance only in the case of nitrous oxide gas, which readily displaces the larger part of the normal oxygen content. In the case of other anæsthetics, the same process occurs; but to a less extent. Detailed figures of the extent to which the blood gases are altered in various stages of chloroform anæsthesia will be found in Appendix III.
