Abstract
Summary
The effects of indomethacin on the circulatory and respiratory responses to BaSO4-induced pulmonary microembolization were studied in anesthetized dogs. It was found that indomethacin blocks the broncho-constrictor response but not the circulatory responses to pulmonary embolization. It is suggested that indomethacin blocks the formation and release of prostaglandins due to pulmonary embolization.
