TL;DR
The objective of this study was to ascertain whether the relationship of oxygen cost to mechanical respiratory work is the same for hyperventilation as for resistance breathing in normal subjects and to test whether the same relationships hold in the presence of diseases which alter the mechanical properties of the lung.

The hemodynamic determinants of myocardial oxygen utilization were ascertained in the isolated, metabolically supported, nonfailing canine heart and the primary determinant was found to be the total oxygen requirement.

In all subjects studied and over the range of ventilations involved (ca. 30–110 l/min.), the mechanical efficiency of breathing was found to be in the order of 0.19–0.25.

The effects of changing oxygen stores are minimal after 10 minutes of hyperventilation and probably after 5 minutes, at a constant minute volume, in spite of marked differences in the respiratory exchange ratio and volume of carbon dioxide produced.
