Effect of sevoflurane on respiratory function in a dose-dependent manner in vivo. A-C Change in respiratory frequency (A), tidal volume (B), and minute ventilation (C) in the control group and with three doses of sevoflurane (0.5 MAC, 1 MAC, and 2 MAC) are depicted. D-F Carbon dioxide induced change ratios in respiratory frequency (D), tidal volume (E), and minute ventilation (F) in the control group and with three doses of sevoflurane (0.5 MAC, 1 MAC, and 2 MAC) are depicted. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. *, #, † indicate that there were significant differences compared with control in 0.5 MAC, 1 MAC, and 2 MAC groups, respectively, by two-way ANOVA (P < 0.05)
