"Thus, if a patient needs oxygen, he should be provided oxygen. If his drive to breathe diminishes, appropriate means to ventilate the patient should be sought"

The Death of the Hypoxic Drive Theory
Why the Hypoxic Drive Theory Sucks Wind (original RC World submission and later on previous website)
roxlyngcd@comcast.netWell, my respiratory drive didn't slow down at all, using 16 liters liquid oxygen, maintaining 97% saturation while walking a 5 K (3.1 miles) . This is my fifth year at this great event described on yesterdays page. Blowing my own horn...I was third in my age group of 70-80, with a time of 48:30. [four in that group]. Crashed for a nap once home. Without the chronic bronchitis factor I don't have difficulty breathing, but my lungs don't transfer the oxygen breathed in, into the blood stream. DLCO-diffusion problem = 63%. I wonder how I'd do at sea level, this was a mile high!I use high flow with permission of my medical team watch oximeter- and given the go ahead to exercise as hard as I can and want to...since I reached walking or working out for a time of 1 hour 4 years ago. No other significant health issues. Always consult your dr.
