Select one:

a. Increase ventilation

b. Decrease ventilation

Answer 1

1 .Drugs that block the citric acid cycle will decrease ventilation . Citric acid cycle doesnot use oxygen if cycle block also no effect to oxygen.One of The end product of citric acid cycle is Carbon dioxide ,if Cycle blocked by drugs ,Carbon dioxide does not produce and exhaled it causes hypoventilation .These two results in decrease ventilation.

2.ACE Inhibitor would tend to decrease ventilation. Angiotensin Converting enzyme inhibitors associated with increase incidences of cough ,bronchial responsiveness that may cause further deterioration of patients with impaired pulmonary function. Impaired pulmonary function results in decrease ventilation.
