With anesthetized dogs we have measured upper tracheal vascular resistance on both sides of the trachea simultaneously by perfusing the cranial tracheal arteries and measuring inflow pressures at constant flows. The ratio of pressure to flow gave vascular resistance (Rtv). Lung airflow, blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and pressure in a cervical tracheal balloon (Ptr) were also measured. In paralyzed dogs, systemic hypoxia due to artificial ventilation with 10% O2-90% N2 increased Rtv by +8.1 +/- 1.0% (SE), Ptr by +76 +/- 22.8%, and BP by +18.9 +/- 24%. After bilateral cervical vagosympathectomy the increases in Rtv and BP were present (+8.8 +/- 0.9 and +22.3 +/- 0.3%, respectively). After carotid body denervation Rtv, Ptr, and BP increased (+6.4 +/- 1.3, +58.6 +/- 31.6, and +14.6 +/- 3.3%, respectively). After vagotomy Rtv and BP increased (+14.1 +/- 1.7 and +22.4 +/- 10.1%, respectively). Tracheal perfusion with hypoxic blood caused a small vasodilation (-2.2 +/- 1.1%). Systemic hypercapnia due to artificial ventilation with 8% CO2-92% air increased Rtv by +16.7 +/- 3.8%, Ptr by +67 +/- 2.0%, and BP by +12.9 +/- 9.9%. Tracheal perfusion with hypercapnic blood caused a small vasodilation (-2.5 +/- 1.2%). Stimulation of the carotid body chemoreceptors with KCN caused a small increase in Rtv (+1.2 +/- 0.5%) and increases in Ptr (+49.8 +/- 13.6%) and BP (+11.1 +/- 2.1%). Systemic hypoxia and hypercapnia caused tracheal vasoconstriction mainly by an action on the central nervous system.
