Volatile Anaesthetic Depression of the Carotid Body Chemoreflex-Mediated Ventilatory Response to Hypoxia: Directions for Future Research
Figure 4
Plot of dose-response relationships between the effect of anaesthetic on hypoxic response, expressed as the % hypoxic response intact in presence of agent versus MAC for animal carotid bodies (this study from Table 1), human data at low dose (data from reference [5]), and human data at high dose (data from references [1–4, 9–11, 20, 21, 72]). The points are means (±95% confidence intervals).
