The relationship between ventilation (VI (L/min)) and PaCO2 (Torr) in an adult goat before carotid body denervation (pre-CBD) and on multiple days after CBD.

Note the hypoventilation (rightward shift in PaCO2, and the reduction in ventilation for a given level of PaCO2 following CBD. Note also the recovery of CO2 sensitivity by day 15 post-CBD. Adapted from[6].
