Influence of oral clonidine on the ventilatory response to acute and sustained isocapnic hypoxia in human males.

abstract：:Relative humidity of air produced by simple compressors used to drive ventilators was measured at different working pressures. At normal working pressures, a relative humidity of 100% was found and condensation occurred, mainly at the high pressure air/oxygen mixer valve. This resulted in blockages and loss of accurac...
