The effect of surgical stimulation on the ventilatory
depression of inhaled anesthesia with isoflurane in the presence and absence of nitrous
oxide. Surgical stimulation increased alveolar ventilation and decreased PaCO2
at all depths of anesthesia examined. (Adapted Eger EI, Dolan WM, Stevens
WC, et al: Surgical stimulation antagonizes the respiratory depression produced
by Forane. Anesthesiology 36:544, 1972.)
