What Are The Respiratory Mechanics Involved During Cystic Fibrosis?
what are the breathing mechanics involved with a patient with classical cystic fibrosis? Do they survive off of the hypoxic drive like other co2 retainers? Or do there chemoreceptors respond to the higher amount of co2 and hyperventilate? thank you!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you mean ventilator then it works when patient can not breath easily and need to apply some effort, it is mixture of air and gas, nothing to take anything with chemotherapy, it may works as life saving apparatus hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
