Figure 4. Effect of halothane dose on inspiratory duration TI(upper) and expiratory duration TE(lower) for control (solid bars) and stimulated carbon dioxide bolus breaths (hatched bars) in 11 animals (protocol 1). Asterisks indicate significant increases in TIduring the carbon dioxide stimulus and decreases of TEduring the test cycle compared with the respective control cycle (**P < 0.01;***P < 0.001). (section), Significant difference of the control cycle durations compared with the 1 MAC control cycle ((section)P < 0.05, (section, section)P <0.01, (section, section, section)P < 0.001). 1.0 EC: 1 MAC end-control data obtained at the end of the protocol normalized to the first 1 MAC control values.
