... not significantly different from spontaneous breathing. Reduction of muscular work of breathing by IPP in normal human subjects does not induce a measurable change in either respiratory drive or ventilation, which appear to remain dependent on chemoreceptor input. Inspiratory effort continues during IPP, even...

.... No significant change in breathing pattern was observed in either patient group after treatment with placebo or naloxone, although individual patients displayed greater respiratory drive after naloxone than placebo. Therefore, endorphins do not exert a consistent influence on respiratory center output...
