Oxygen consumption dedicated to respiratory work (V̇O2RESP) during quiet breathing is small in normal patients. In the morbidly obese, at high minute ventilations, V̇O2RESP is greater than in normal patients, but V̇O2RESP during quiet breathing in these patients is not known. We postulated that such patients have increased V̇O2RESP at rest which may predispose them to respiratory failure when addit...
