| Title | Paper, 'On the influence of carbonic acid and oxygen upon the coagulability of the blood in vivo' by Almroth Edward Wright |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | Wright writes: 'I have, in the course of previous researches on blood coagulation, had occasion to suggest that the phenomena with which I was dealing might be explained in a very simple manner by assuming that carbonic acid gas exercised a favourable influence on the occurrence of blood coagulation. The present research consists of an examination of the hypothesis in question. The method of experimentation employed consisted in determining the alterations of blood coagulability which occurred in animals when alterations were effected in the respiratory gases with which they were supplied.'
