May support reflex expiratory recruitment during positive pressure in awake patients; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Does continuous positive pressure breathing affect abdominal expiratory activity, minute ventilation, and end-tidal PCO2 in conscious man?
Continuous positive pressure breathing in conscious humans reflexly increases active expiration and ventilation, leading to decreased end-tidal PCO2.
Urbscheit et al. (1973) studied this question.
