Summary 1. Keeping the airway clear is very largely dependent on the avoidance of reflex response. 2. The various factors which influence the bronchial lumen are considered. 3. The depressant qualities of modern anæsthetic methods make the different levels of anæsthesia less easily distinguishable. 4. Marked central depression may be injurious and is not necessarily accompanied by adequate reflex suppression. 5. Examples and the results of reflex respiratory activity during anæsthesia are given.
