The Co2 Titration Curve of Mixed Venous Blood

1. Simultaneous CO2 titration curves of arterial and mixed venous blood were determined in both dog and man in vivo. 2. The slopes of the CO2 titration curves of mixed venous blood were significantly less than those of the corresponding arterial curves. 3. The non-respiratory pH values of the CO2 titration curves of mixed venous blood were significantly greater than those of the corresponding arterial curves. 4. The theoretical explanations of these differences have been discussed.
