In this pilot study, we demonstrated that ENA-001 restored the hypoxic ventilatory response impaired by propofol. This finding is not only of clinical importance, but also provides mechanistic insights into the peripheral stimulation of breathing with ENA-001 overcoming central depression by propofol.
