BACKGROUND: Subanaesthetic concentrations of volatile anaesthetics significantly affect the respiratory response to hypoxia and hypercapnoeia.

To test the hypothesis that subjects with blunted hypercapnoeic respiratory drive are diversely affected by different anaesthetics, we studied the effects of three volatile...
