Cardiac output (Qc) was measured by a rebreathing technique, using acetylene and a mass-spectrometer for analyzing. In addition the rate of pulmonary uptake of O2 (VO2) during the rebreathing period and during a preceding steady-state period were determined. Measurements were made on 8 adult humans at rest and at different levels of exercise up to maximum at two occasions. The ratio (VO2 during steady-state/VO2 during rebreathing) was found to be significantly below 1 when the steady-state VO2 was below about 21 . min-1 and to be about 0.55 for subjects at rest. This indicates that VO2, and hence Qc, is increased by the rebreathing procedure when this involves deeper and more frequent respirations than those of the preceding period. Accordingly, when VO2 was below about 21 . min-1, the Qc value, calculated exclusively from acetylene concentrations recorded during rebreathing, was multiplied by the above-mentioned VO2-ratio. It is shown that this correcting procedure gives more reasonable values than those obtained by acetylene data alone. It is pointed out in what respects this correcting procedure of calculation deviates from that originally used by Grollman, and it is shown that there are only moderate differences between the results obtained by the two procedures.
