Effect of propranolol on the ventilatory response to hypercapnia in man. 1979

P W Trembath, and E A Taylor, and J Varley, and P Turner

1. The effect of a single oral dose of propranolol on the ventilatory response to hypercapnia has been studied in five healthy subjects. 2. Propranolol produced a small but significant reduction in the slope of the ventilation/end-tidal PCO2 regression line. 3. Propranolol did not significantly change vital capacity or forced expiratory volume in 1 s.
