We aimed to determine the relative contribution of hypercapnia and hypoxia to the bradycardic response to apneas. We hypothesized that apneas with hypercapnia would cause greater bradycardia than normoxia, similar to the response seen with hypoxia, and that apneas with hypercapnic hypoxia would induce greater bradycardia than hypoxia or hypercapnia alone. Twenty-six healthy participants (12 females; 23 ± 2 years; BMI 24 ± 3 kg/m
